Hello Everyone! In this video we will build the Flyhawk 1/72 SBD-3 Dauntless Dive Bomber. This is a fantastic kit! Everything goes together very well. There is a lot of detail for a 1/72 kit. The marking are for plane #11 of Bombing Squadron 8 (VB-8) from the USS Hornet at the Battle of Midway. The base colors are Vallejo Model Air paints. I used Tamiya acrylics as well. I hope you like this model build video. Check out some of my other videos using the links below. Please consider subscribing to my channel. Thank you! Drew

Great result Drew. I have never built a model from this company so may have to some day.👏👏👏👏

Thank you, Al! This is the first time I have ever built one of their kits. They don’t have many planes though. They mostly make 1/72 armor (which is right up your alley!) and small ships. Not sure if Andy’s HHQ ships over there. He has a lot of Flyhawk kits. andyshhq.com/collections/flyhawk

This is a great little kit. Great build Drew . The only thing I m o this kit lacks is a flight crew. I used the crew from the Airfix Helldiver to remedy this shot coming on my build. As for the tiny delicate pieces yes they are using a good quality spree cutter is a must along with a sharp # .11 blade

Thank you! There are resin figure sets on eBay that have both the pilot and rear gunner. I should have got a set.

Nice result Drew. Sadly Flyhawk isn’t a brand we see much of in NZ.

Thank you, Don. Maybe an online hobby shop has Flyhawk models? Take care! Just curious…what are winters like in NZ?

@dongorski4822 Ай бұрын

@@DrewsModelsas with most countries it depends where you are. Here in Wellington, it’s generally pretty mild, the winter temp rarely falls below 5 degrees C, further south it’s likely to be 1-3 degrees C. Of course it drops below freezing in the high country of both islands. Rain? Oh yes, it’s quite a wet place, and Wellington has a well-earned reputation for being very windy! Take care out there.

Turned out beautiful. I do have a question though . How do you keep the tape from pulling off the paint. I’ve had zero luck with Vallejo paint not being pulled up with the tape

Thank you! Use a good primer, either rattle can or Badger Stynlrez. Stynlrez is the best acrylic primer hands-down. It’s also bottled as Mig One Shot primer and UMP bottles it for their primer as well. I’ve never had an issue with Vallejo paint lifting when I use this primer! Never put water-based acrylic paint on bare plastic. Always use a primer. Take care! Drew

What color would I use if I were to use spray paint for the fuselage instead of an airbrush
