Detailed 1/72 scale assembly model kit of the Curtiss SB2C Helldiver, a World War II era carrier-based dive bomber aircraft operated by the United States Navy. The SB2C Helldiver was developed to replace the Douglas SBD Dauntless, then the primary carrier-based dive bomber in U.S. Navy service. The SB2C Helldiver was a large aircraft capable of carrying a wide variety of ordnances. The SB2C features an internal bomb bay and can operate from the latest aircraft carriers of the time. The bulky size and appearance coupled with early design problems made the Curtiss SB2C unpopular with pilots initially, and the type was given unflattering nicknames such as the "Big-Tailed Beast", "Two-Cee", and "Son-of-a-Bitch 2nd Class" by pilots and ground crews. Design problems with the Helldiver were largely solved by the time the SB2C-4 made its appearance and pilots and crew begun to appreciate the added speed, range, and bomb load offered by SB2C. More than 7,000 SB2C Helldivers rolled out of production lines, and the type remained in service until the end of the war. This Airfix 1/72 scale assembly kit features 76 injection molded plastic parts.
