Overview

The Vought SB2U Vindicator was a carrier-based dive bomber that served with the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps during the crucial early stages of World War II. Though considered obsolete, these crews bravely flew their "Wind Indicators" into the thick of the fighting at the pivotal Battle of Midway in June 1942.

This 1/48 scale kit from Academy is a special 80th Anniversary edition, commemorating the Vindicator's service at the Battle of Midway. The model is enhanced with the inclusion of photo-etched parts for finer details and a pre-cut masking seal to aid in painting the large "greenhouse" canopy. The kit includes three historic marking options, including aircraft flown by VMSB-241 at Midway and a plane from Pearl Harbour.

Wash Care

1. Stay cold: wash in cold water using a gentle detergent. (Pre-treat as needed.)
2. Go easy: fold & gently press in a towel to get rid of excess water.
3. Deny the dryer: tumbling & heat hurt delicates. Lay flat to dry, or place on a drying rack.
