About product

Eduard SBD-3 flaps 1:48 (photo-etched flaps)

This is a photo-etched detail set from Eduard in 1:48 scale for a faithful rendering of the characteristic perforated flaps of the SBD-3 Dauntless dive bomber. It is neither a model nor a kit but an accessory that replaces the solid plastic flaps with fine perforated photo-etched parts, which can be shown in the lowered position. The exact contents follow the instructions in the package.

The real subject

The Douglas SBD Dauntless was an American carrier dive bomber of the Second World War, famous above all from the Battle of Midway. Its typical feature was the perforated flaps on the trailing edge of the wing, which also served as airbrakes during a dive. It is precisely their perforation that is hard to imitate in plastic, which is why it shows to advantage in photo-etch.

Usage tips

The flaps are cut away from the plastic as instructed and replaced with the photo-etched parts. These are cut from the fret, shaped and bonded with super glue. We recommend patience while stiffening and fitting them; the result is an open perforation that markedly brings the model to life.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers of Second World War carrier aircraft in 1:48 scale
  • Anyone interested in faithful perforated flaps that plastic cannot give
  • Builders of a model with the flaps lowered
  • More advanced modelers working with photo-etch

This is a detailing accessory, not an aircraft model. The base kit and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The flaps of the Dauntless were perforated and also served as airbrakes. Their perforation is practically impossible to imitate in plastic, whereas a photo-etched part renders it faithfully.

No, this is a detailing accessory. The set holds only the photo-etched flaps for refining an existing SBD-3 kit in 1:48 scale, not the whole aircraft.

It calls for cutting off the original flaps and patiently fitting the photo-etched parts with super glue. The set is better suited to more experienced modelers.
