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.
