Curtiss SB2C Helldiver (Model 84) model airplane

The prototype for the Helldiver was first flown on December 18, 1940, with the first production airplane entering service in December, 1942. This was the final combat airplane built by Curtis for the US Marine Corps/US Navy, and the most extensively built of all US Navy dive-bombers. With a total of over 7,000 Helldivers built, only 26 of these airplanes were used by any other service during World War II, for the plane was of such great value in the Pacific Theater that the US Navy absorbed almost the entire production. Many of these airplanes continued in service with the US Navy right after World War II, and some were eventually sold to other nations. The SB2C-4 was powered by one 1,900-hp Wright R-2600-20 Cyclone 14 radial piston engine, giving the airplane a maximum speed of 295 mph at 16,700 feet, cruising speed of 158 mph, service ceiling of 29,100 feet, and a range of 1,165 miles. Airplane armament was two wing-mounted 20-mm cannon and two 30-caliber machine guns in rear cockpit, plus up to 2,000 lbs. of bombs in fuselage bay and on underwing racks.

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