Vought SB2U Vindicator - 21" span; Dave Diels kit

Wing-walks hide the sometimes ugly seam between tissue colors

Two-tone yellow tissue helps to show the fabric covered vs metal painted panels on the real plane

This kit was completed in Sept '06, and was my 'entry' for the "Golden Age Military" CookUp on the YAHOO 'Free Flight CookUp' site.

The yellow, white and green esaki tissue are straight OOB, while the silver is white esaki is sprayed with 'Design Master" floral spray paint from a rattle can. The markings are waterslide decals from the kit.

I no longer have this plane as part of my hanger. Several tosses into windy conditions at Wawayanda proved it's undoing. The wing panel tore off as the plane cartwheeled across the grass. As I tend not to repair models too frequently, the absence of this plane on my shelf helps to make room for more models.
