Pink Label Hobby Master Curtiss SB2C Helldiver – US Navy VB-17, USS Bunker Hill, Rabaul 1944 – Scale 1:72 – HA2201

NOTES: The model has one pin broken and a aerial on the wing with a part missing, see the photos.

This HobbyMaster 1:72 scale diecast model represents the formidable Curtiss SB2C Helldiver of Bombing Squadron 17 (VB-17), stationed aboard the USS Bunker Hill (CV-17) during operations over Rabaul in 1944. Nicknamed “The Beast” by its crews, the Helldiver was the U.S. Navy’s last purpose-built dive-bomber — powerful, rugged, and capable of delivering precision strikes deep into enemy territory.

Hobbymaster's HA2201 model captures the Helldiver in immaculate detail: the folding wings, rear gunner’s cockpit, and crisp Pacific theatre markings all beautifully rendered. A perfect addition for collectors of classic U.S. naval aviation or WWII carrier aircraft.
