Eduard FE1126 SBD-2 ACADEMY 1/48 – Photo-Etched Parts Set for Dive Bomber Model

The Eduard FE1126 photo-etched parts set is designed for the 1/48 scale plastic model of the SBD-2 Dauntless, released by Academy. This product is an advanced upgrade for modelers looking to enrich and accurately reproduce interior details as well as small external elements of the aircraft. The set is dedicated to the American Douglas SBD-2 Dauntless dive bomber, which played a key role in the Pacific during World War II – especially during the Battle of Midway in 1942. The SBD-2 version was used by the US Navy and US Marine Corps between 1941 and 1942.

Thanks to precision manufacturing from high-quality photo-etched metal and detailed printed parts, this product significantly increases the realism of your model by enhancing cockpit interior minutiae, seat belts, instrument panels, and fine mounts and controls. All elements are designed to fit directly onto the ACADEMY SBD-2 model and do not require complicated adaptation.
