After a lengthy development period, the first Curtiss SB2C Helldivers sailed for the Pacific aboard the USS Bunker Hill in late 1943. By mid-1944. the Helldiver had replaced the SBD Dauntless as the

U.S. Navy’s primary dive bomber. The

SB2C-4 incorporates changes starting with the -3 version including a more powerful engine, 4 bladed prop and perforated dive brakes. Helldivers participated in every major naval action in the Pacific during World War II, and they continued in service with the U.S. Navy until 1949. The SB2C-4 Helldiver was produced in greater quantities than any other Helldiver variant. The French used them in combat in Indo-China during the mid-1950s, and this marked

the end of the Helldiver’s service life.

FOR ADVANCED MODELERS, OPTIONAL PHOTO ETECHED METAL PARTS, IF NOT USING PILOT SHOWN IN STEP 3.

This kit contains photo etched parts for added realism. use a sharp knife to remove the parts from their tree and cut against a hard surface like a piece of glass. Stick a piece of tape to the back of the photo etch tree so the parts don't fly off and get lost. Carefully sand the photo etch pieces to remove any remnants of their mounting points. Some photo-etched parts will need to be sanded to fit properly. To attach the photo etched pieces to your model, use a toothpick or piece of wire to apply a small amount of CA superglue, two-part epoxy, or clear enamel paint to your model. Then the photo etched pieces can be put into place using tweezers or a toothpick dipped in candle wax.
