Italeri 2841 – USN SBD-3 Dauntless, WWII Dive Bomber

Italeri 2841 – SBD-3 Dauntless from Douglas SBD-3 Dauntless in 1/48 scale is a highly detailed plastic model kit representing one of the most famous American dive bombers of World War II. The SBD Dauntless played a crucial role in the Pacific Theater, especially during the Battle of Midway, helping turn the tide of the war in favor of the United States.

The kit includes detailed cockpit, bomb racks, landing gear, engine, armament, and authentic US Navy markings, making it ideal for collectors and historical dioramas.

The finished model measures approximately 20–21 cm in length, providing an accurate and well-balanced 1/48 scale representation.

The model comes unpainted and unassembled, allowing you to recreate classic US Navy wartime colors. Vallejo Model Color is recommended — for example, 70.888 Olive Grey for upper surfaces, 70.943 Grey Blue for undersides, 70.950 Black for details, and 70.863 Gunmetal Grey for engine and metal components.

Glue and paints not included.
