Thanks OC, I'm glad to be here. I thought after lurking here in non-ship I'd take the plunge and join the fun -
I've been tempted into doing this build after watching Craig and his many non-ship projects and picked the Dauntless as I like carrier borne bombers and fighters from the Pacific campaign. Now it's been at least 40+ years since I did a plastic aircraft model so please bear with me, also its OOB, no mods or aftermarket stuff, just plain as is. I'll be going with the US navy tri-colour paint scheme but they not arrived yet so maybe a while until I

Very nice Victory Tony

I would add a good coping/fret saw to the list above as they do come in handy.

Superb work Craig. I really like this build as it's one of my preferred eras of aircraft, carrier borne fighters and bombers both US and Japanese. OMG I just looked at the photos on my tablet as usually I use my mobile and the detail you got ......!!!! So once again SUPERB work

Tony even after all the frames for the cross section and bulkheads for this build I still wander off the vertical, but as I don't cut to the line it usually is simple to get over. I have been looking on Ebay and gumtree for a scroll saw because if I get one cheap enough I can also get something else such a table saw or sander. Cheers 🙂

We do like to see all the angles LS

Winchelsea would be an excellent choice as you have all the laser cut parts from Chuck if you need them. As to tools I'm still just using a coping saw and craft knife, not got round to buying a scroll saw yet. Did have one on order but cancelled it and got refund after waiting 6 weeks and still not delivered. 😡. I will get one before I move on to Winchelsea Cheers.

Thank you, your kind words are much appreciated!!

Thank you LS, I have found it very testing but also satisfying when I do get it right. If you want a good scratch project may I suggest Chuck's HMS Winchelsea group build as there is Chuck's own magnificent build log and you can download the monograph chapters. Just have to buy access to the plans $15 about £13 and get them printed, most can be done at your local library, but the largest need a professional printer as they are A0 size, cost about £15. Cheers 👍😁

Hello everyone, I managed to get the first belt of planking done over the weekend and did the last of the six strakes today. Next time I shall fit the garboard strake and work the next belt from the keel. Thanks for the likes and dropping by. Cheers 👍😁

My fingers itched so I have bought a model!! Thanks Craig 😆😆 Hasegawa 1:48 Scale Douglas SBD-3 Dauntless Model Kit I picked this one as I like the aircraft from the ww2 Pacific campaign. I hope I can do it justice.

Thank you gentlemen, your words are encouraging. I'm going to try and get in the shipyard and run a couple strakes this weekend. Thanks for looking in. Cheers 👍😃
