Title: RNAZ SBD? & A24?
Post by: lyric1 on November 08, 2009, 02:57:54 AM
Since thereis so few SBD skins I thought I would post a picture in case some one was inspired to do a few. Also the armys version of this plane A24. (IF THAT WOULD BE PERMITTED)?

"SBD/NZ5050 (ex-BuAer36898) flown by Plt.Off.G.H.Cray and Flt.Sgt.F.D.Bell is reported missing. The aircraft was last seen flying over the target area at high speed - probably after being hit by flak which was - reportedly - very intense that day."
