Airfix Curtiss SB2C Helldiver 1:72 Model Kit A02031

Only 26 out of the 450 Curtiss SB2C aircraft were ever delivered to the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm, where they became affectionately known as the Helldiver I. After a series of rather disappointing and unsatisfactory tests, none of the British Helldivers saw active service. They did however see service in the US Navy for a while.

Airfix Kit A02031 faithfully recreates the look and feel of the prototype aircraft in a choice of two liveries.
