Trumpeter 03402 SBD-3 Dauntless Kit: Naval Scale Model

The Trumpeter 03402 SBD-3 Dauntless kit offers a faithful 1:700 representation of the famous dive bomber, aimed at collectors and model builders who enjoy naval aviation subjects. Its small scale makes it a practical addition for display cases and mixed collections.

Combat History and Scale Appeal

Known for its significant role during key Pacific engagements, the SBD-3 is well suited to historical displays. This kit captures the silhouette and key features that make the aircraft recognisable to hobbyists focused on World War II aviation.

Construction Challenge and Finish

With 90 parts over six sprues, the model provides moderate complexity and fine detail in miniature. Careful trimming and painting will bring out its features, producing a compact piece that complements other wartime models.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1:700

The kit includes crisp small-scale details suitable for close-up viewing, though some features may benefit from careful painting and thin washes to enhance definition.
Fine cutters, a hobby knife, tweezers and a small file are recommended to remove and clean parts cleanly at 1:700 scale.
Check the kit box contents for decal sheets and placement guides; decals are common for marking small-scale aircraft and simplify accurate finishes.
Small plinths or diorama decks sized for 1:700 scale work well, especially when grouped with ships or other aircraft in the same scale.
