Here is SBD BuNo1612 from the USS Midway Collection.











Lost the majority. Interior shots are poor and blind shoots. All are very similar but of varying quality, posted all in case one had something some one cared to see.

Great pictures. I sure hope they restore that one into the pre-war silver/yellow wings scheme depicted on that postcard. That would look really nice and give a break to the standard blue and/or tri-scheme so prevalent on all of the restored SBD's.

Do you know if that's the paint scheme they plan on putting on it when done?

Not sure, I know above the USN scheme it had a great Marine Corp Scheme which would be fantastic as well. Having a first run SBD will be awesome!

Here is some info on the bird:
