This 1:48 scale model recreates the legendary Douglas SBD-2 Dauntless, the aircraft that led the charge during the Battle of Midway (1942), one of the most decisive victories of the U.S. Navy in the Pacific War.
The SBD-2 was the early variant of the iconic U.S. dive bomber, praised for its durability, long range, and pinpoint strike accuracy against the Japanese fleet.
The fuselage features engraved panel lines, a detailed radial engine, three-blade propeller, movable dive flaps, realistic landing gear, and a complete bomb bay.
The cockpit includes fully detailed instrumentation, accurate pilot seats, reproduced seatbelts, a movable rear gun, clear openable canopy, and a realistic HUD.
Armament includes 1,000 lb bombs, 7.62 mm Browning machine guns, auxiliary tanks, and optional parts for attack or recon versions.
High-quality decals represent the markings of VB-6 and VS-6 squadrons aboard the USS Enterprise (CV-6) during the Battle of Midway.
A model that combines technical fidelity, historical depth, and the heroism of the Dauntless dive bomber that helped turn the tide of war.
