As the Helldiver had a curved windscreen, an internal flat squared shaped bullet-proof glass panel was installed in the same way as the SBD. Check the photos:

It´s present in every wartime variants and it sometimes mistaken as another external windscreen frame, but actually is an internal structure. It´ll surelly add an extra touch to the 3D airframe. Thanks!!

This´s what I meant. Nice! The canopy frames should be much more straights, not so curved as the last screenshot. It´s getting a lot better!!!

let me tell you this new modding method im learning is great/.........

Great! If it´s the SB2C-4 version it needs a spinner. I´m almost sure that -3 version doesn´t have the rocket rails...

according tp my blueprint labled SB2C-3 it does have the rails

look

[Wrench 9,849]

look like i've got a lot of running lights to add....

 

and you can see the Yagi antennas halfway out on the outer wing panels

 

Ed,is the seat part of the LOD? if so, might want to raise it up a bit, so the headrest is level with the T on the side canopy frame (it just looks low to me)

 

this is really coming along NICE!!!!
