The Douglas SBD-3 Dauntless aircraft was one of the most important American dive bombers of World War II. It gained fame during the Battle of Midway in June 1942, when aircraft of this type sank four Japanese aircraft carriers. It was also used in many other Pacific campaigns as the primary US Navy bomber from 1941 to 1945.

The Eduard BIG4808 set includes: a rich set of photo-etched details (48451 SBD-3 flaps) for recreating the flaps and control surfaces, a set of components for detailing the cockpit interior and other elements (49237 SBD-3), and precision masks (EX012 SBD) to assist with painting the canopy and wheels. This makes it possible to reproduce every part of the model in a highly realistic manner—from the cockpit and landing gear to the outer surfaces.

By using precise photo-etched elements and ready-made painting masks, any model will gain a unique, professional character and will become an exceptional highlight in any collection.
