So the yellow wings mean...?
The Matchbox 1/72 SB2C Helldiver. One of the most ungainly, portly looking aircraft to ever take the air. Historically, one of the most insignificant planes to land on a carrier. It wasn't fast. It wasn't well armed. It didn't participate in any battles. Nor did the British, inheriting the planes intended for the French, actually do anything with them. And when I bought the kit (for again, P20 from SM Cubao in 1985), all my brothers asked was: "And you're gonna dogfight us with that?" Who cares. It was a pretty plane. Silver and yellow, a bit of blue. And that was when I really started building models for real. Not because of how well it would do against a pretend enemy airforce.

Didn't realize biplanes looked so cool! Keep up the good work!
