The Eduard 48451 set faithfully replicates the flaps of the SBD-3 Dauntless bomber, which played a key role during the battles in the Pacific, including the Battle of Midway and Guadalcanal. These aircraft were intensively used by the US Navy and US Marine Corps from 1941 until the end of the war.

The set is made from high-quality photo-etched metal, allowing for extremely detailed and thin components that are difficult to achieve with traditional plastic. The set enables the construction of precisely detailed wing flaps typical for the Dauntless, improving not only detail but also the historical accuracy of the model.

The kit includes all necessary parts to replace the plastic elements of the model, as well as a detailed, color assembly manual that will guide you step by step through the installation process.

Working with photo-etched parts requires precision and skill handling delicate components, but the result is a significantly enhanced finish and realism of the collector’s model. It's the perfect choice for modelers who want to take their SBD-3 Dauntless to a higher level of detail and authenticity.
