Description

This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.

First flown in 1940, more than 7,200 SB2C Helldivers were built by 1945. Although it was not popular with its crews, with more aircraft being lost to landing accidents than to enemy action, it was a very effective aircraft, accounting for the destruction of more Japanese targets than any other US dive bomber. The SB2C-5 Helldiver as depicted in this kit was equipped with a new 1,900hp R-2600-20 engine and went into production in February 1945. This 1/48 scale Nichimo kit features many moving parts, such as retractable landing gear, foldable wings, sliding canopy, and bomb bay doors that open and close. Ordnance and underwing stores include rockets, wing tanks, and a bomb. Can be motorized, although the motor and motor/battery mount are not included. Markings included for two aircraft. This kit is a very old tooling, and as such the detailing doesn't quite hold up to the newer releases by Tamiya or Hasegawa. Still, it looks like a Helldiver when it's finished, and with all the moving parts it has a high level of "playability," sometimes important for younger modelers. Build and enjoy!
