1:72 Scale Diecast Metal - Douglas Dauntless SBD SBD-3 Dive Bomber - US NAVY – Length: 5.5" Wingspan: 6.5” |
This model includes many little parts that need to be assembled in place. The propeller needs to be assembled in place as well as other little antennas and optional landing gear. The assembly needed is very simple, but due to the small pieces, patience and skill are needed.
This is really a "no-play" model or a "display-only" model. It is mostly metal with plastic parts. It also has a number of antennas which look great but are very fragile.
This is not a toy. Recommended for 15 and up.
The Douglas SBD Dauntless is a World War II American naval scout plane and dive bomber that was manufactured by Douglas Aircraft from 1940 through 1944. The SBD ("Scout Bomber Douglas") was the United States Navy's main carrier-based scout/dive bomber from mid-1940 through mid-1944. The SBD was also flown by the United States Marine Corps, both from land air bases and aircraft carriers. The SBD is best remembered as the bomber that delivered the fatal blows to the Japanese carriers at the Battle of Midway in June 1942. The type earned its nickname "Slow But Deadly" (from its SBD initials) during this period.
