About product

SBD Dauntless flaps 1:72 (Aires)

A resin detail set, not an airplane kit. This set of finely cast resin sharpens up the characteristic perforated flaps of the American Douglas SBD Dauntless carrier-based dive bomber in 1:72 scale. The perforated dive brakes and landing flaps were one of the recognition marks of this machine, and in resin they can be rendered with faithful holes, which are only hard to produce in plastic. The set is meant for more advanced modelers with experience of resin.

What the set is for

Lowered perforated flaps give a static model dynamism at once and faithfully suggest a machine in action. The casting captures the fine texture, the thin edges and the perforation that are typical of the Dauntless and hard to achieve from solid plastic. Once painted and lightly weathered, the transitions between the wing and the flap look entirely natural.

Usage tips

  • Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue
  • Cut off the casting blocks and sand the surfaces with respiratory protection
  • Glue with super glue (cyanoacrylate)
  • Check the amount of deflection of the surfaces with a dry fit, according to the scene you have in mind

Who the set is for

  • For builders of the SBD Dauntless dive bomber in 1:72 scale
  • For more advanced modelers with experience of resin
  • For lovers of dynamic poses and faithful perforation of the flaps

This is a resin detail accessory, not a model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. These are resin flaps that add to a kit you already own. The base airplane model has to be bought separately.

They were perforated and served as dive brakes as well as landing flaps. Resin allows them to be rendered faithfully with holes, which are hard to form in plastic.

It takes a little experience. The parts are washed free of mold release residue, cut off the casting blocks and glued with super glue. Do the sanding with respiratory protection.
