Trumpeter 06404 SBD-3 Dauntless 1/350 – plastic model airplane kit

Trumpeter 06404 SBD-3 Dauntless 1/350 is a high-quality plastic model of a dive bomber, designed specifically for modelers seeking accessories for 1/350 scale ships. The product is a miniature replica of the legendary SBD-3 Dauntless dive bomber used during World War II in the Pacific.

SBD-3 Dauntless is an American carrier-based aircraft and one of the most important dive bombers of the US Navy during World War II. It gained its fame particularly in naval battles, especially during the Battle of Midway (1942), where it played a crucial role in the sinking of four Japanese aircraft carriers. This particular variant – the SBD-3 – was used by the US Navy from 1941 in the Pacific Theater as well as by the US Marine Corps. The aircraft served actively throughout most of the conflict until more advanced designs replaced it in the latter half of the war.
