Scale and subject

This 1/32 scale diecast model replicates the Douglas SBD-3 Dauntless marked 06624, 41-S-13 from VS-41 aboard USS Ranger during Operation Torch in 1942. It is aimed at adult collectors and military-history enthusiasts who want a display-ready replica of a specific US Navy dive-bomber. The officially licensed Premium Collection item arrives in the manufacturer’s original unopened packaging.

Dimensions and detail boundaries

The model measures approximately 12.5 inches in length with a 15.75-inch wingspan, giving a substantial presence on a shelf. Diecast metal combined with plastic construction provides a heavy, realistic feel while supporting the fine panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details. Detachable landing gear and included missile accessories allow two display configurations, though the fixed scale limits the level of cockpit interior detail visible through the canopy.

Construction and daily handling

The mixed diecast and plastic build resists minor knocks during occasional repositioning, and the original box offers secure storage between display periods. Detachable landing gear can be swapped without tools, but the large wingspan demands a wide, stable surface to avoid accidental tip-overs. Collectors who need a smaller footprint or models with fully detailed interiors should look at other scales.

Questions about this item

Will the 1/32 scale and 15.75-inch wingspan match my other 1/32 aircraft on the same shelf?

The model is built to 1/32 scale with a 15.75-inch wingspan, so it aligns with other 1/32 diecast aircraft in your collection.

How can I confirm the detachable landing gear and missile accessories are correctly fitted after unboxing?

Check that the landing gear locks into both the extended and retracted positions and that the missile accessories attach securely to the wing hardpoints as shown on the box art.

Does the box include a display stand or must I buy one separately?

The manufacturer's original packaging contains the diecast model with detachable landing gear and missile accessories; a display stand is not included and must be purchased separately.
