Dale1416 | Dumas Kit #228, SBD-5 Dauntless | Build | 14-Dec-13 19:48 | | Views : 534 | 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. |
