Build Log - SB2C-4 Helldiver Academy 1/72 Special Edition

This is a Special Edition of the Academy SB2C-4 Helldiver, with included Eduard photo-etch for the dive flaps.

Kit reviews :

The interiors are mostly Interior Green (Lifecolor acrylics)
No seat belts are included, so I made some from Tamiya masking tape
Instrument panel and radio equipment details come from the supplied decals.
A tip to work with stubborn Academy decals is to apply heat from a hair-dryer with liberal amounts of Mr Hobby Mark Softer. This gets the decal soft and pliable enough to be coaxed into the recesses using a cotton bud.
The bomb bay is quite detailed OOB
Rear gunner's weapon
Brush-painted and installed.
