Morning all,

I'm looking to build the above mentioned SDB using the Academy SBD-2 boxing and Ventura decals,as part of a slow build of RNZAF PTO WW2 types.

From comparing the Sprue maps all the parts for a -5 are listed as unused parts.

I'm after any photos of NZ5057 or similar to use as reference in particular for weathering, I'd be grateful for any photos/ links please

Cheers
