Entry 1: Matchbox 1/72 Curtiss SBC Helldiver
« on: July 13, 2020, 09:29:39 AM »
Hi all,
I only learned of Brian's passing last week thanks to the banner for the GB, so I figured I should get something on the bench to honour him and our friendship.

This kit came from our own The Big Gimper and I had an idea but saw some bits were missing. Then yesterday I thought, What Would Brian Do?

Thanks to starting a new job this is my first time at the bench for a while. But rest assured, progress is progressing!

I'm sorry to say this has languished under the bench since about a week after I last posted for personal reasons and is unlikely to be finished in time. But I hope to finish by his first anniversary.
