This is a model of
a Marine SB2C-3 Helldiver from VMSB-343 "Gregory's Gorillas" that was
used for patrolling around Midway in late 1944.

This model was backdated
from a SB2C-4 kit to a SB2C-3 by installing the windows behind the pilot's
sliding canopy, replacing the dive brakes with un-perforated ones,
omitting the prop spinner, and eliminating the zero-length rocket
launchers.
The model was
finished with Model Master Paints, kit decals, and homemade stencils.
