This shot was taken, standing in the center of the Helldiver's flight circle. The plane goes around fairly quickly so that one can get dizzy while tracking it with the camera.

Dumas Curtiss SBC-3 Helldiver. The finished weight is 107.8g. This is a little heavy for a 30" model, but there is a lot of wing area.

I build the SBC-3 with the gear up because this is going to be an outdoor flyer and also because it is pretty complicated to make a good representation of gear down. The wheel is a balsa disc sanded into a donut shape.

The crew is now seated. I air brushed the model with acrylic paint thinned with ethylene glycol (wiper fluid).

All of the wings are removable. There is a paper tube in every wing component through which a balsa spar goes. This is done mostly for storage reasons, but will also limit damage in a bad crash.

The crew, Ensigns Thomson and Thompson are carved from foam and covered with tissue. They turned out a little more portly than I intended.
