RE: KMP SBD Dauntless *NEW pics*
Zippi many warbirds do not need a ton of nose weight , its typically the short nose warbirds like the Fw190 , seafury ect .
Even those planes can have the nose weight reduced with careful planning , engine choice , bigger on board batterys ect so if weight cant be advoided it can be useable weight .
I have never owned an SBD , so I really cant tell by the pics if it fits into the short nose profile of the warbird category
