Getting ready to start Academy SBD in 1/48. I would like to use the Starfighter Midway decals. Cannot find them except a site called Dteinei.com. Has anyone heard of this site? Also going to use the Big Ed set. Cannot find any photos of a completed model with this set. Some of the instructions are not real clear to me.
Darrell do you mean this set?
If so Starfighter decals have it in stock.
Ok, said it was discontinued. I will look again, thanks
Actually it was their 4808 decals I was looking for. These will do. Any idea of the Vallejo Air fuselage golors?
As these were painted Intermediate blue then Vallejo do an Intermediate blue

At that time, the US was not using Intermediate Blue, that color was introduced in 1943 with the rest of the ANA colors for the “tri color” scheme. The color was Blue Gray M-485, which is a more vivid blue shade when new. Vallejo Model Air suggests PRU Blue 71.109 in their USN/USMC 1940-1945 paint set to use for the color.
I stand corrected, I was just looking at pictures of SBD’s without looking at the time line.
Are you planning on doing a build log? I have this kit in my stash (at least the Pearl harbour version) and I am itching to build jt
