{"product_id":"usn-douglas-sbd-3-dauntless","title":"USN Douglas SBD-3 Dauntless 1\/48","description":"The Douglas SBD “Dauntless” was a single-engine, low-wing aircraft and the most widely used carrier-based dive bomber by the U.S. Navy during World War II. Entering active service with American flight units in 1941, it could be employed for both reconnaissance and dive-bombing missions. The SBD-3 was the true hero of the Battle of Midway (June 1942), a turning point in the Pacific War, where it played a key role in the sinking of Japanese aircraft carriers. Powered by a Wright R-1820 Cyclone radial engine, it could reach a top speed of 410 km\/h (255 mph). The SBD-3 was capable of carrying nearly 2,000 kg (4,400 lbs) of bombs. It was also equipped with two forward-firing 12.7 mm (.50 cal) machine guns and two rear-facing 7.62 mm (.30 cal) machine guns. It was highly appreciated by crews for its ruggedness and solid construction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale is 1:48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize of the model is 24.2cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamous WWII aircraft known for its role during the Battle of Midway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith six different decal options to realise aircraft on the ships Enterprise, Lexington, and Yorktown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Gift factory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53867730305365,"sku":"2841","price":32.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/0804\/2069\/files\/2841_01.jpg?v=1778417223","url":"https:\/\/the-gift-factory.co.uk\/products\/usn-douglas-sbd-3-dauntless","provider":"The Gift factory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
