1/48 SBD Dauntless Control Surfaces (For Academy/Acc.Min.)
The Douglas SBD Dauntless ("fearless" in English) was a boarded dive bomber produced by the U.S.-based Douglas Aircraft Company in the 1940s and used by Allied forces during World War II.
Endowed with high characteristics at the time of its entry into service, it was capable of conducting dive attacks with a 454 or the heavier 726-pound bomb, was characterized by high robustness, and was used efficiently by Marine and U.S. Navy divisions. Its main success, however, remained the sinking of the Japanese aircraft carriers at Midway, winning the most uncertain air-to-air battle of the Pacific War.
The U.S. Army had a land-based version of the Dauntless, called the A-24 Banshee, which was essentially the same plane with minor differences (it did not have a arresting hook and the tires were different). It was produced in two versions and employed during and after the war.

Go to cartDouglas SBD Dauntless By Kev DarlingThe Douglas SBD Dauntless earned a reputation as a great dive bomber even though its predecessors were largely prewar in origin. Many nicknames were given to the SBD during its frontline service, my favorite being "slow but deadly." The original concept was developed by Jack Northrop with the help of Ed Heinemann. The resulting aircraft, the BT-1, had some flaws that would be corrected when the SBD-1 appeared. Definitely a pre-production model, the remainder of this first contract was completed as SBD-2 and had few improvements over the earlier machines. It took the appearance of SBD-3 to create a more warlike machine incorporating self-sealing fuel tanks, armor plating, and improved armament. Each subsequent version showed some improvement; the final version, the SBD-6, is the best of all. The USAAF also used a version of the Dauntless, this being the A-24 Banshee. The only difference between the two models was the lack of naval equipment for carrier operations, otherwise it was the same. Unfortunately, when the SBD-6 appeared, the Dauntless' frontline career was over. However, the Dauntless and its land-based equivalent, the Banshee, had further careers with the Royal Navy, the French Air Force and Navy, Chile, and Mexico.The Douglas SBD Dauntless ("fearless" in English) was a boarded dive bomber produced by the U.S.-based Douglas Aircraft Company in the 1940s and used by Allied forces during World War II.Endowed with high characteristics at the time of its entry into service, it was capable of conducting dive attacks with a 454 or the heavier 726-pound bomb, was characterized by high robustness, and was used efficiently by Marine and U.S. Navy divisions.
