About product

SBD-5 Dauntless, Battle of the Philippine Sea edition 1:48, Academy

Injection-molded plastic kit of the American carrier-borne dive bomber Douglas SBD-5 Dauntless in 1:48 scale from Academy. The edition refers to the Battle of the Philippine Sea of 1944. The package consists of injection-molded plastic sprues, clear parts and a set of decals for US Navy machines.

The real subject

The Douglas SBD Dauntless was the key carrier-borne dive bomber of the US Navy in the Second World War. It made its name above all in the fighting in the Pacific, where its pilots sank a number of Japanese ships. Its characteristic feature was the perforated dive brakes on the wings, which allowed the aircraft an accurate diving attack. The SBD-5 version received a more powerful engine. The Battle of the Philippine Sea in June 1944 was one of the largest air battles fought over the sea.

Building and painting tips

Separate the parts with a sharp knife and glue them with liquid cement for plastic. Finish the glazed cockpit with its rear gunner position before closing up the fuselage, and mask the clear parts. Apply a primer and spray the naval schemes with an airbrush in thin coats. The perforated dive brakes can be shown extended. A dark wash will bring out the engraved panel lines.

Who the model is for

  • For lovers of American carrier aircraft of the Second World War
  • For anyone interested in the war in the Pacific
  • For collectors of dive bombers in 1:48 scale
  • For intermediate modelers

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
