But What of Revell's effort that was issued way back in 1997? Three guesses what I found in my stash. When I was asked about a Helldiver as a build, I remembered I had one somewhere. I had forgotten just how good it was - subtly rendered panel and rivet detail, lovely detail in both crew positions, and open bomb bay, engine and landing gear. There is even a set of brass etched parts - the brass dive brakes are beautiful. I felt I should make the most of this bounty, so I added an Eduard colour etch set, a set of brake pipes, engine wiring and a full rivet job. It was an intensive build but it was great fun.

In one word, WOW! This is beautiful, Phil!
Thanks Ajay. I'm working with a new camera and background. I really enjoyed this build. For me, most of the pleasure is in the painting.
superb! ..I picked up the Cybermodeler kit reasonably cheaply on Ebay recently - I wasn't aware that Revell's example could look as good as this..
