Techmod 72043 - Vought SB2U Vindicator (1/72)

Techmod 72043 - Vought SB2U Vindicator in 1:72 scale is an exceptional decal set dedicated to plastic models of the legendary American dive bomber Vought SB2U Vindicator. The decals allow you to reproduce five different paint schemes and markings for this aircraft, used by the United States Navy during key periods of World War II and just before the outbreak of the conflict.

The SB2U Vindicator is the first carrier-based dive bomber powered by a radial engine, serving in the US Navy and US Marine Corps since the late 1930s. These aircraft played their part during the dramatic early months of World War II, including operations in the Pacific. The SB2U-2 and SB2U-3, for which decals are included in the Techmod set, operated from aircraft carriers such as USS “Charger” and USS “Ranger”, as well as from bases in Hawaii.

The Techmod 72043 decal set offers top printing quality and excellent historical accuracy, based on source documentation. You receive a wide selection of markings from the famous squadrons VS-9, VS-41, and VMS-2, both from 1941 and 1942. This allows you to replicate aircraft such as 9-S-18, 9-S-12, 41-S-8, 2-S-6, and 42-S-13 – each with slightly different markings and camouflage patterns according to their specific period of use (just before the USA entered the war as well as during wartime operations).

The decals are printed on ultra-thin, high-quality film using offset printing technology. As a result, they look realistic and adhere perfectly even to the fine details of a model. This product is intended for 1/72 scale plastic models (most often recommended are Special Hobby or Pavla Models kits), category: model accessories – World War II 1/72 aircraft decals.

Techmod decals are highly regarded among advanced modelers for outstanding detail reproduction and excellent color accuracy to the original. The recommended application difficulty level is 2/5 – any moderately experienced modeler should succeed thanks to the detailed instructions and the decals’ high resistance to deformation.

We highly recommend this product to all enthusiasts of US Navy aviation and collectors of early World War II models. The Techmod brand guarantees a high level of satisfaction and will meet the expectations of even the most demanding historical modeling enthusiasts.
