Yeah, that Dauntless is beautiful. I looked at that for a long time. I noticed the three colored dots on the underside; red green and yellow. My Corsiar in the game has those also, under a wing. I don't know what those dots are for, but I have my geusses. A way to communicate a status to the carrier deck crew or ground crew perhaps?
They weren't just on carrier birds. These were signal lights also used on the Mustang, Lightning, and others.Originally posted by RPMcMurphy:

Here's some more progress on the 110.
The fit of the tail planes is quite loose so it's not easy getting them straight and exactly horizontal. So I had to improvise this set up which worked OK.

There's the fit issue at the engine nacell to wing joint that shows up on most reviews of this kit. Mine was no better so some plastic surgery will be needed.

Finally, one of the nacelles with the nice sidewall details glued in place. I drilled out the little holes in the ribs based on references.

More later.
For the SM 79 fans: (NOT by me, found it on the web)
