1/32
This is a 3D model of the Douglas SBD Dauntless, which served as a U.S. Navy carrier-based dive bomber from the early years of World War II.The data format is STL.(This is not a sale of 3D-printed physical parts.)
This package includes five major production variants:
SBD-1 – The first production version, deployed exclusively with the U.S. Marine Corps.SBD-2 – First Navy-operated version with extended range. The upper cowling air intake shape was modified.SBD-3 – Improved version with various refinements. The rear gun position was later upgraded to twin machine guns, which are represented in this 3D model.SBD-4 – Equipped with improved navigation equipment. In 1/350 scale, external differences from the -3 cannot be represented, so the airframe is shared with the -3. The propeller was changed to a Hamilton Standard type and is provided as a separate part.SBD-5 – The most-produced version. Powered by the R-1820-60 engine, featuring a more forward-projecting cowling and an updated optical gunsight. Underwing pylons are also included in the 3D model.
Model detailsExternal differences between each variant have been reproduced as accurately as possible based on historical references.The aircraft can be printed in the following configurations:
