What we really need is the one most used in WWII: the SB2C-1C. Not more -4 and -5s.

I'm a "green shirt" because I work on the carrier's flight deck and maintain US Navy aircraft. Safe sorties are my life so we can be anywhere, anytime -- from the Sea.

I'd like SH to move their AD-5/A-1E release to front of the queue.

Looks wonderful. I'm sure I will buy one. Hear is hoping for a SB2C-1C, the one used most during WWII, not a post war version. I will buy several of those.

Hate to be whiner, but if you did the -1C instead I would get a few instead of skipping this version ;)

I'll be glad to help in any way to get this version made. This and the TBF-1 are both lacking in kit form in 1/72 and saw much more war time service than the late war versions we see (SB2C-4 & 5; TBM-1C & TBM-3).
