VB-2, USS Lexington (CV-2), 1941

The second release in Hobby Master's new top-of-the-line Premium Collection, this 1/32 scale, limited edition die cast model beautifully replicates the SBD-2 Dauntless dive-bomber flown by Capt. Mark Whittier of VB-2 stationed on the USS Lexington (CV-2) in early 1941. Currently on display at the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, Florida, as the only surviving naval aircraft to play a significant role in the Battle of Midway, this Dauntless also survived the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor when it was there for repairs.

Your amazingly crafted Dauntless is loaded with premium features like none you've seen before: the cockpit on this beauty is so detailed that when you slide open the canopy, you'll swear you can read the individual gauges; the front of the Wright Cyclone engine couldn't look better… until you remove the metal propeller and the cowling to see the full radial in all her glory! You also get two crew figures; movable flight control surfaces, including working dive brakes; retractable landing gear; a moving bomb crutch with a realistic bomb; wing-mounted bombs; a movable rear gun; precisely painted and printed pre-war markings; and more - all in a scale (the wingspan is 15¾"!) unprecedented for a model of this beauty and complexity.

The first aircraft in Hobby Master's new Premium Collection sold out in only a few days, so don't let this second offer take off without you. Availability is extremely limited, so call today to order your 1/32 Dauntless!

Only a handful left!
