Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power Series HA2210: Curtiss SB2C Helldiver White 80 of VB-85, USS Shangri La in 1945. Production limited to only 300 units. Complete with superb looking photo etched extended airbrakes.
The SB2C Helldiver was commonly referred to as “The Beast” because of its size and rather poor handling characteristics. Even with new variants and upgrades the Helldiver never received the credit and respect it deserved. The most produced variant was the “4” with the SB2C-4E equipped with an AN/APS-4 radar pod mounted under the starboard wing for air search. It flew faster and further than the Avenger, except for range it beat the SBD in every category. Its cruising speed was only 2 mph slower than the famous Hellcat.
