TRUMPETER’S 1:32

SDB3 DAUNTLESS

Modelled and described by Tomas de la Fuente

Midway’s Champion

In 1934, the Douglas Company designer, Ed

Heinemann began work on a new dive bomber

for the U.S. Navy, which was to be based on

aircraft carriers. After many twists and

intermediate type designs, finally on 23 July

1938, the first flight of the prototype of the

Dauntless, the XBT-2 took place. The first

production model was shipped on June 4, 1940,

the SBD-1. Over the next four years, there were

several models Dauntless (SBD-1, -2, -3, -4, -5

and -6), besides being used by the U.S. Navy,

other countries, (Australia, Chile, France,

Mexico, New Zealand and the UK), and the U.S.

Army also used it, under the name of A-24

Banshee.

At the beginning of hostilities against Japan, the

Dauntless proved itself including in the Battle of

the Coral Sea, the Battle of Midway and

Guadalcanal. And specifically in Midway where

they won great respect, being the principal

architects of victory, because in four minutes

they sank three of four Japanese aircraft

carriers. The fourth aircraft carrier, was sunk a

little later.

In particular the model SBD-3 performed well at

Midway and were the same aircraft that had

participated in the Coral Sea a month earlier,

well worn aircraft, and experienced in combat,

these are aspects that must be reflected in the

realisation of the model I had planned.

The Trumpeter kit in 1:32 scale, was my choice for

the project, and the version I bought, is specific to

the SBD-3 at Midway. When I opened the box I

wasn’t happy, as the fuselage was moulded in clear

plastic. I particularly detest clear plastic, as it is very

brittle and difficult to machine and not sanded easily.

The rest of the model looked good, with many parts,

as is tradition with this brand there’s an option of

two versions of the same model, early and late,

distinguished, besides the tail gunner weapon, in the

fairing behind the engine. To bring the detail to the

standard I wanted I thought it necessary to acquire

several improvements, which were:

The Eduard Big Ed set dedicated to this aircraft,

which is a bumper set with all the Eduard photoetch

and masks, Master Casters resin wheels, Master’s

metal Gun Barrels and Aires resin .50 M2 Machine

Gun (Browning). In total I used around 400 pieces of

photoetch, really crazy!
