This 1:48 scale model depicts the iconic SB2U-3 Vindicator, a key participant in the Battle of Midway, one of the most decisive moments of the Second World War in the Pacific theater.
The Vindicator was the first monoplane dive bomber of the U.S. Navy, marking the transition from biplanes to modern aircraft. The SB2U-3 variant, deployed at Midway in 1942, flew bravely despite being technically outclassed by Japanese fighters.
The fuselage features engraved panel lines, a detailed radial engine, three-blade propeller, realistic landing gear, and movable dive flaps.
The cockpit is highly detailed, with complete instrumentation, accurate seats, finely molded side panels, a movable rear gun, and a clear openable canopy.
Weapons include 500 lb bombs, Browning machine guns, and optional parts for reconnaissance or naval strike configurations.
High-quality decals represent the markings of the Marine Scout Bombing Squadron VMSB-241, which took part in the legendary Battle of Midway.
A model that combines historical importance, technical precision, and the spirit of naval aviation heroism.
