I'm in the process of recovering from knee surgery and as a project I have managed to find a second hand 1/48 Revell Helldiver kit and have bought a load of etch to go on it. Although the kit has some recessed panel lines I want to add some more rivet detail. At the moment I'm struggling to find detailed plans of the panel lines, if anyone can help by suggesting a book or a website I would be most grateful. Mark

you did not specify which "Helldiver" the kit represents. Does this help? I just googled "Curtiss Helldiver plans". an image series popped up and I scrolled through it. At the bottom of each image was a link to the page where the image came from. Here is another link from that page---its a "plans" site: http://aerofred.com/search.php?search_keywords=Curtis%20XP55%20Ascender __________________ Ted pinterest pg. of scale models/dioramas: http://www.pinterest.com/intrstinpintrst/awesome-scale-models/

Mark I uses Google pictures for a lot of info for my work. This may be of help. If it does not work put in search Helldiver pictures. about half way down open up a Silver helldiver with a blue band and tail. This opens up with anotehr window opening up a whole host of pictures.

Thanks Laurie the wireless connection in hospital isn't great. Hopefully will be getting discharged later and I will check at home.
