This plastic assembly kit allows you to recreate with incredible detail the famous American dive bomber used at the turn of the 1930s and 1940s.

SB2U-1 Vindicator was the first low-wing aircraft carrier bomber, operated primarily by the United States Navy (US Navy) and Marine Corps (USMC). These types of aircraft were used during the preparations and first months of World War II, being in service from the pre-war period until about 1943. The most famous use of the SB2U-1 Vindicator took place during the Battle of Midway in June 1942, where they fought with distinction despite already being technically outclassed by newer designs.
