Dauntless? Probably not, but worth a try.

Hmm...

It is very close to the SBD-3 cockpit I am looking at....telescope gunsight, aft ends of the 2 guns are in the right spot, but I don't see that vertical instrument on the right side of the artificial horizon in my pics...also, there is no window in the floor of the cockpit.

My guess-- the Val dive bomber

I hope whoever does the cockpit for the Dauntless uses the pics I sent jedi-- they are very detailed

If I am way off Yard, forgive me. Whatever it is-- it is beautiful!

Jeeves got it, well it wasn't too difficult The Val still needs a little bit of work but the cockpit is about 98% finished.

Dang it!

I was going to guess the Val. Not because I recognised the cockpit, but I was going to guess based on the green wings!

Good looking Cockpit thats for sure.

Actually, I didn't see the green wings The only reason I guessed is because:

#1-- The cockpit with the gun butts and telescope site is similar to the Dauntless, but not quite

#2-- We only have so many planes with rear gunners stations Nice work Yard!!

Are you by any chance helping jedi with the Dauntless cockpit He has a wealth of info because I love the damn plane so much, I bought the technical book even though I wasn't modeling it

He has all of the pics he needs-- he just needs more time and less projects LOL...but I am glad he picked it up when Jag left-- she is to beuatiful to leave alone

nice, I'm sure Mposis started with his old model and not the one I worked on right?

mine had textured wheels, 3D cowling and the outside framing mapped.

Wow! That looks really nice. I hope that the outside model can do justice to that cockpit! If there's one thing I really wish SDOE had, it's some Pacific theater dive bombers (Val, Dauntless). I'll be eagerly awaiting the release of this one.
