About this Model:
After the success of the German Ju 87 Stuka in Europe aroused U.S. Army Air Force interest in dive bombing, the USAAF acquired its own dive bombers by obtaining 78 Douglas SBD-3s from the U.S. Navy production line between June and October, 1941.Replicating one of the 52 A-24 Banshees that was en route to the 27th Bomb Group (Lt.) in the Philippines when the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor re-directed the convoy to Brisbane, Australia, this amazingly detailed, 1/72 scale, die cast Hobby Master model features engraved panel lines and simulated rivets, a detailed cockpit with an optional position canopy and two crew figures, a rotating propeller, a Dutch 600-pound bomb on a centerline crutch and two wing-mounted 110-pound bombs, optional position landing gear, authentic markings, and more. 6¾" wingspan; includes a display stand.
