SBD3 Dauntless 1942, Flyhawk 1/72
Let me post a Flyhawk Dauntless. I am a Flyhawk devotee by nature, and they have brought us a kit that lives up to our expectations in aircraft modelling. I was amazed to learn that this was their first model aeroplane kit. The aircraft I [...]
1/72 Marine SBD-1 Dauntless
A couple of years ago I replaced my Airfix "Sail12" SBD-3 Dauntless (below) with a better Hasegawa kit.
Rather than leave the old kit sitting on the obsoletes shelf I repainted and redecaled it for 2-MB-1, the commander's [...]
1/72 SBD-5 Dauntless – VB-16, April 1944.
“White 35” was a SBD-5 assigned to VB-16 on the USS Lexington (CV-16) in April 1944. It was flown by LTJG George Blacken & RM Leo Boulanger.
I used a 1996 boxing of the Hasegawa SBD-5, which came with decals for White 45 of the [...]
1/32 scale Dauntless kit by Trumpeter
Here we have my 8th build of the year, the 1/32 scale SBD3 Dauntless by Trumpeter. Molding is exceptional, body and cowl are clear plastic for some reason, which I find useless. The instructions are typical Trumpeter, filled with mystery [...]

This model is one of the Enterprise Dauntless at the Battle of Midway. Only my second Navy plane but since I purchased the Vallejo Air paint set for WWII naval I will be doing more. I have a Hellcat ready to go soon.
This was my first [...]
Academy/Accurate Miniatures USMC SBD-1
This is my interpretation of the Douglas SBD-1 Dauntless by Accurate Miniatures/Academy. I really liked this kit a lot, mainly because it fit together well and had an almost extreme amount of interior detail (a lot of which I can't see, [...]
Academy USMC SBD-1 "Pearl Harbor"
After spending three months on the card stock Russian tank, I decided I wanted to take a break and do something simple and easy. This Academy kit fit the bill nicely and accomplished two things: a) I finally upgraded my dive-bomber [...]
Trumpeter 1:32 Scale, Douglass SBD-5 "Dauntless"
First one for 2023...
Actually, I started this kit back in 2018, 2019, I think? Sat on the shelf for a bit while I moved onto other things.
Trumpeter has this reputation of either making really nice kits, or some real dogs. This one [...]
SBD-3 Dauntless (Flyhawk 1:72)
SBD was a scout and dive bomber aircraft produced by Douglas from mid-1940 to mid-1944. Scout Bomber Douglas was also known by the nickname Slow But Deadly and is famous by its actions against Japanese fleet at the Battle of Midway. The [...]
