The SBD-2 Dauntless was an American dive bomber used primarily by the United States Navy (US Navy) during World War II. It was one of the most important carrier-based aircraft in the USN, playing a key role in the Battle of Midway in 1942, where Dauntless dive bombers were instrumental in sinking four Japanese aircraft carriers. Produced between 1940 and 1944, the Dauntless became a symbol of American air superiority in the Pacific. The SBD-2 was an improved version of the prototype, used mainly from 1940 to 1942, before the introduction of later variants.

The SBD-2 Dauntless - Upgrade Edition model from Flyhawk is distinguished by its high-quality surface detailing, panel lines, and realistically reproduced cockpits and landing gear. Precisely made photo-etched parts significantly enhance the kit with elements that are difficult to replicate in traditional plastic, such as photo-etched seat belts, cockpit equipment, and headrests. The entire kit is made from high-quality plastic and photo-etched components, which boosts the aesthetics and realism of the finished model. A detailed assembly instruction is included in the package; however, glue and paints are not provided and need to be purchased separately.
