Got this great aircraft (SBD Dauntless) today along with a F8F Bearcat from Vertigo Studios (they're having a sale on 4 models for 14 dollars U.S., the two I got and also, their F6F Hellcat and P36 Hawk

Thanks 4 looking

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Great shots Chuck.

And thanks for the heads up, I've been wanting a P-36 and Bearcat.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
