The Academy USN SBD-3 model kit lets you build a detailed replica of the iconic WWII Navy dive bomber used during the Battle of Midway. This 1:48 scale kit is made for history fans and model builders, capturing the look of the SBD-3 flown from carriers like Enterprise, Hornet, and Yorktown.
You can assemble it with dive flaps closed, partially open for landing, or fully deployed in a dive position. It also includes photo-etched parts for extra detail and a masking seal to help with painting the clear canopy sections.
The kit comes with decals for four marking options, featuring aircraft flown by real US Navy pilots in 1942. Among them is Lt. Richard H. Best's Dauntless from the USS Enterprise, flown during the key strike on Japanese carriers at Midway.
