Douglas SBD Dauntless model airplane

Entering service with the US Marine Corps in late 1940, without any doubt the Douglas SBD Dauntless must be regarded as being the most successful dive-bomber produced by the American aviation industry during World War II. The airplane was successful both in terms of achievement and longevity, blunting the might of the Japanese navy in actions in the Coral Sea, Midway, and during the Solomons campaign; and continuing to offer a valuable contribution to US Navy and US Marine Corps actions until late 1944, long after contemporary airplanes had disappeared from the scene. Even after first-line capacity tailed off after 1944, many late-version aircraft remained in use for some years after the end of World War II. The SBD-6 was powered by one 1,350-hp Wright R-1820-66 Cyclone 9 radial piston engine, giving the airplane a maximum speed of 255 mph at 14,000 feet, cruising speed of 185 mph at 14,000 feet, service ceiling of 25,200 feet, and a range as a scout-bomber of 773 miles. Airplane armament was two forward-firing 50-caliber machine guns and two 30-caliber machine guns on flexible mount, plus underfuselage mounting for up to 1,600 lbs. of bombs and up to a total of 650 lbs. carried beneath the wings.

All airplane models are Hand Carved, Hand Painted Mahogany and come fully assembled with removable desk stand.
