SB2C-5 Helldiver in 1/72 (SH72350) – camouflage options and decal artwork


Our upcoming Helldiver release will contain four different marking options, one French machine that saw action over Dien Bien Phu in Viet Nam, an American machine fighting during the closing stages of WW2, a Greek machine used agains ELAS (Greek communist insurgents) and also one Italian aircraft. The decal sheet caters rather meticulously also for the plentiful stencils seen on the Helldiver.
Some modellers may welcome the option of a separate French anchor marking printed in the smaller sheet enabling them to spray paint the Helldiver rudder rather than apply a huge tricolour decal.

For this Dash Five version, a special clear sprue has also been prepared here at SH containing a different style of the sliding canopy section. Do not pay attention to those two smaller flat windows meant to be used with different version.

Dear Business Friends,    In the September instalment of Special Hobby Newsletter, you are going to read about only one large scale model, the 1/32 Fiat G.50bis that comes in the bomber and navalized versions. All the other model kits are in 1/72 scale, and these are the P-40N fighter that sports very attractive schemes, really very colourful inter-war B-12A bomber as well as the re-issue of our 1/72 scale SMB.2 French jet fighter.    The detailing sets for this month contain the third set for our 1/48 SF-260 nice little kit (the two previous sets became available last month), the most interesting of the new sets is the wide variety of new details for ICM's 1/48 scale B-26B Marauder kit. Some more sets for this model are to be announced in October.     Not a long while ago, our range of model kits got a nice addition in the form of the 1/72 SH72505 F-84F Thunderstreak ‘Reborn Luftwaffe’ model. Each one of this kit also contained a real fragment of the F-84F that crash-landed on our...
