Did not use kit supplied decals, since I went with a different paint scheme. Decals used are from two other Dumas 200 series kits. Dale1416, Image # 30259 14 Dec 13 19:51 Instrument panel, exhaust pipes, and simulated upper dive brake flaps added to this build. Dale1416, Image # 30258 14 Dec 13 19:50 Canopy frame made from 1/16 “ brushed silver pinstripe tape Dale1416, Image # 30257 14 Dec 13 19:50 Simulated dive brake flaps and wheel wells Dale1416, Image # 30256 14 Dec 13 19:49 Guillow’s wheels used, not narrow kit wheels. Bombs were scratch built Dale1416, Image # 30255 14 Dec 13 19:49 3 blade propeller helped embellish this model. Dale1416, Image # 30254 14 Dec 13 19:48 Dumas 200 series kits are not very detailed, but I am satisfied with what I could do with it. I realize there are many more Dauntless details that could be added such as found on the Guillow’s 1000 series model. Dale1416, Image # 30253 14 Dec 13 19:47 Back in the late 1940’s, I built a Dauntless with a 20” wingspan from a Comet kit, but did it in the WW 11 blue/gray colors., as Dumas kit #228 suggests. I just like this color scheme better! Dale1416, Image # 30223 04 Dec 13 13:46 Next build is the Dauntless, another model I had done back in the mid 1940's (original Comet plans shown) This build will be from the laser cut Dumas Kit #228 with an 18" wingspan. Plan to make it into the pre WWII paint scheme as was done by Xanadu and John M. Oshurst on their models.
