Produced as a replacement for the Douglas SBD Dauntless, initial prototypes suffered crashes and other development issues. It was also a large and cumbersome beast, lacking favor among flight crews. However, it was crucial in sinking both the Musashi (1944) and the Yamato (1945) battleships during the war, a feat that made up for its drawbacks. This kit includes over 70 transparent and plastic parts to build the SB2C-4 with three finishing options from Operation Iceberg (the Invasion of Okinawa and the sinking of the IJN Yamato) in 1\/72 scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic and transparent parts ready for assembling SB2C-4\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree sprues with more than 70 parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional position parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterslide decals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree finishing options for:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSB2C-4E, VB-16, USS Randolph, 1945\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSB2C-4E, VB-84, USS Bunker Hill, 1945\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSB2C-4, ‘White’ VB-3, USS Yorktown, April 1945\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrated instructions and paint guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Academy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67899413954859,"sku":"ACY-12545","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/8980\/3051\/files\/academy-12545-1-72-usn-sb2c-4-helldiver-model-aircraft-kit.jpg?v=1793048540","url":"https:\/\/topspeedhobbies.com\/products\/academy-12545-1-72-usn-sb2c-4-helldiver-model-aircraft-kit","provider":"Top Speed Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
