Sure does Tim, thank you. 
Couldn’t agree more guys: in 1/72 there seems to be a great opportunity for an ambitious model company to bring a 21st century rendition to market, given the number of surviving aircraft on display and the good references available… (Special Hobby, I’m looking at you

Picked up academy’s reboxing of accurate miniatures SBD-1 Pearl Harbor
Question, I know at Pearl harbour before the war, they were painted gray. Does anyone have a good match in Tamiya? I was thinking neutral gray XF-53 but it looks a bit dark
Does anyone know if the SBD with New Zealand markings that I believe Italeri did, which from what I have read posted earlier is a remixing of the nice / best rated SBD? Us it accurate OOB as an SBD4 which is what they used, from very little of what I have read about them being?
Thanks
Mike
As far as I know italeri like academy bought molds from accurate miniatures, so they should be good quality. Looking at the kit I bought, it looks excellent.
Pretty sure the italieri is a reboxing of this kit
