Dodgy Dive Bombers

I must have been feeling particularly masochistic with these two pooches. AZ's 'limited release" (not limited enough) Vultee Vengeance and an old (circa 1961) Helldiver from Monogram.
The Vengeance is horrid. It looks like the tooling was designed for resin, no locating pins, and you're expected to drill holes for even the undercarriage legs. There's a correction kit that has a complete new fuselage. That gives an idea of the inaccuracies here.
The Helldiver will be built as an RAAF A-25 Shrike. It's more like a toy in that the wings fold, canopies slide, wheels retract, and you can drop the bomb.
