Hi,

was wondering if anyone had any info on the restoration of one or two Helldivers in the Minneapolis area. I thought I heard of one being done up in this neck of the woods.

Also, would I be correct in assuming that there is a hulk of an SB2C for sale somewhere. I can't recall where I saw it listed but I thought I saw one not long ago for sale.

Thanks

Paul

Hi there... the one for sale is being sold by my friend Kevin Smith. There's a big write up of the project on my site if anyone's interested.

It's quite a substantial project.

Cheers,
Richard
