Hello,

I am just thinking ahead on a couple of kits I would like to purchase at some point.

I was wondering from the different stand points of Accuracy, Quality, and Easy to build.

What is the best options for the following 1/48 scale WW2 Aircraft?

- U.S. Douglas SBD Dauntless
- U.S. Curtis SB2C Helldiver
- U.S. Chance-Vought F4U Corsair (USMC)

Just want to keep an eye out for the best kit when I am looking.

Thanks for any advice.

Spence

Hi Spence

F4U-1 (A/D): Tamiya

Helldiver: Revell/Monogram/Promodeller same model but I am not sure which include the Flaps PE (maybe all?). See Chucks beautiful superdetailed build: https://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/forums/109919&ord=&page=1 (he used the Accurate Miniatures Boxing .. again same mould)

Dauntless no idea which is best, Maybe the Italeri boxing of the AccMin kit...

Thanks for your reply Steffen!

Wow...what a build that is. Thanks for linking me to it. Wow........amazing job he did.

Thanks for your suggestions. Yes I think I would like to get a Accurate Miniatures Helldiver for sure. Just need to find one.

Thanks.
Spence

In the US the Promodeller boxing might be easiest to get
