- I unbox the SBD-3 Dauntless (Battle of Midway) in 1:18 scale by Merit Toys. I also show the assembly process. SUBSCRIBE TO SEE MORE!
I just came across 36 NEW IN BOX 21st century toys and Elite Force 1/18 WWII prop planes. I will be posting more Unboxing and Assembly videos on this account soon. Some examples of what I have are Hellcat, Stuka (various models), Corsair (various models), TBF Avenger, P-47 (various models), Bf-109 (Various models), Me-109 (various models), FW-190, P-51 (Various models), P-51D Mustang, P-40 (various models) , A6M2 Zero, Dauntless, and much more!!
The National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola Florida, has an SBD that actually participated in the Battle of Midway. It is the only known surviving Midway warplane in existence, and is considered one of the most historic combat aircraft in the world.
Ik it’s crazy that only one survived
Die I went to another air museum right next to it. Wish I could’ve seen it.
That suck
Nice!
I have seen that one, while in Pensacola. I have pictures of the one hanging from the ceiling in Chicago Midway airport. That's the one that came back with around 200 holes, the result of Japanese fighter attacks and flak. You can easily see where they patched it.
The details are amazing... Even the wear out on the gunner seat... Awesome model!
Amazing details!!! Nice purchase.
This model aircraft is so very expensive that I don't have, but have many others like the hellcat, corsairs, fulk wolf, mustangs,zeros, me109s and me 262. Thank you again for your wonderful videos. 💖
An amazing and wonderful model of the plane and the similarity of the real plane with all its contents and details small and large 👍👍👍
One of my favorites!!!
You know that scene in the Christmas Story where the little boy is standing with his nose pressed to the window looking at the BB Gun and mouthing over and over "I want that".... That is me right now.
Me too🤣
@@MilitaryVehicleReviews Where do you buy the planes friend?
I like the "weathering" and the flat gray paint. It looks less "toy" like.
Such a cool toy. Would look great on my coffee table.
Awesome video mate! can't wait to see more
Gotta love to have one of these.
you have the best channel i can find all the planes I want because of you
Most excellent!!!!!!
It's a great model, pretty detailed for a toy. I have built the 1/72 Airfix SBD. For a scale modeler this type of model, which comes almost fully assembled, is no fun at all. Merit also manufactures this dive bomber in a traditional assembly kit in 1/18 scale. The youtuber Alex from AlexModeling built it and it's worth watching the video. Nice review. Alex
I watched until the end.Good!
Very very good crafting.
Increible hermano!!
Hi love your videos keep it up!
I realy love this model
Excelente ! Brasil 🇧🇷
Bravo!
Excelente!!!
One of the best divebombers of WWII. It saved the day in the battles of the Coral Sea and Midway. Revenge for Pearl.
This is for Pearl
thanks for the review i am going to get this and you just gained a sub
It’s nice. Nothing beats the satisfaction of taking a couple of hundred unpainted parts and building them!
I hate to break it to you, that is not a couple hundred pieces
@@landon_hartwig25 Hi. I understand that. That’s why I wrote what I did😉
Sorry for my cockiness
@@landon_hartwig25 Nothing to apologise for.
I agree, but these 1/18 models are special just for existing. Buying this is analogous to buying a lithograph print made by another artist. You can be an artist yourself, but still appreciate a print made by someone else. And limited editions can go up in value and be in demand. I got a dozen of these models when they were originally made because I knew immediately they were undervalued and hard to find. I could easily sell them now for several times what I paid for them.
💚💚💚
This model is realy good😊
That dive bomber is my favourite two
Awesome My favorite plane :)
I got to fly in the one at Planes of Fame museum even some stick time in formation with a Cessna 210.
Neat! Never knew they made 1:18 scale SBD's!
Excelente
Dauntless, wonderful, beautiful, bomber Word war II
The Battle of the Philippine Sea (The Marianas Turkey Shoot) in June 1944 proved to be the swansong of the SBD-6, the final version of the long Douglas dive-bomber line. The SBD was a straightforward, reliable, and easy plane for pilots to fly, take off and land on the rolling decks of U.S. Navy fleet carriers.
The SBD, however, was a pre-war design and it was clearly obsolescent, despite the affection of its pilots. The U.S. Navy understandably wanted a newer dive-bomber with more capability: faster, more bomb load, heavier armament, more versatility.
The U.S. Navy found this in the Curtiss SBC-5 Helldiver. The Helldiver was much bigger, heavier, and more difficult to handle and thus never found popularity among its pilots. But the SBC offered a top speed of 290 mph versus 255 mph for the SBD, a big difference when pilots want to fly over a target fast and exit the bomb area even faster when enemy interceptor fighter planes might be in the local skies. The first SBC iteration carried the same maximum bomb load of the SBD. The second Helldiver iteration doubled the bombload by installing bomb racks under the wings. The SBC-5 in 1945 could now carry as heavy a bombload over Japan as did Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy DoLittle's North American B-25 Mitchell medium bombers in 1942.
Yet the SBD dive remains an immortal image in the historic annals of the Pacific War.
I re-painted the markings on mine depict an SBD on the Marcus Island raid. ( oversized ensigns with red center meatball)
@@MilitaryVehicleReviews I’d be glad to help anytime!
Interesting how yours depicts the later model upgraded duel .50 cal rear guns. Mine has the single .30 cal but is very detailed.
wow l like the corsair too... :)
Only 5000 copies were made. I have one of each, new in box. Im realy happy for that 😊
L'aereo è molto bello!! Se lo hai dipinto tu sei bravissimo!!
sono precoloroati....
That's my favorite
I love the old warbirds
Me too! 🫡
❤
Is this another discontinued brand? sorry I'm just looking where to get new plane models like that size
I wonder if the pilot was modeled after the legendary Stanley "Swede" Vejtasa.
@4:15 is th bomb not in the wrong orientation....? Should the little tab on top not slot into the fuselage...?????
Edit to add.... and the writing is upside down....???
What was the original price? Anyone know? Im curious to know how much of a markup $1500 on ebay is.
I think these were around $250. They were designed specifically for collectors and not as toys. Still a GREAT price back then for what you get. Todays price.. not so much haha
Cool video where can I find this line of toys because I really want to get this plane for my son on Christmas thanks
Can you please tell me where you buy the plane please. And also keep going with ur vids 👍
Does it came with pilots? If yes that would be awesome 😍
I hope I have that
Can you tell me where to get thing and is it in Amazon because it looks cool and I wanna get it
I have a 1:18 German stuka but I want one of these or a mustang . The US planes from WW2 were also in service during the korean war. Just great 👍 would really love to have a US 🇺🇸 plane .
👍❤️
This is Best's plane at the Battle of Midway, 6-b-1 on the plane was B 1
Show !!!
О...какой большой!Я только в 1/72 собираю.
I’m guessing the airmen figures were extra. Did this company also make the figures in 1:18 or were they from another manufacturer?
Yes the figures were from 21st Century Toys 1:18 Avenger model. I just use them for the dauntless. Thanks for watching!
You got the aircrew from the 21st century avenger didn’t you?
Thats impressive, no figures with it though?
Do they make modern Jets ?
Ciao, vorrei sapere dove si acquistano questi modelli in scala 1:18 grazie
Nice! These is one of the few that I'm missing,I'm planning to get the model kit of this model in 1/18 scale,sorry to ask,if you don't mind,where do you get it? If you can answer ,no pushing,thanks for sharing the video! Keep the great work!
@@MilitaryVehicleReviews I bought a bunch of these in the reduced section at wal mart 12 years ago, 10 bucks apiece. The stuka is another well detailed model. A vindictive ex managed to get her hands on them and gave them to her grandkids, who proceeded to destroy them.....
@@timmclaughlin232 unless your talking about the 20th century, who sells such a detailed model for such an extremely cheap price of only 10 dollars??! Your lucky as heck, that’s extremely cheap.
I found one of these several years back. My Uncle Lewis was in Dick Best's Bombing Six at Midway. I guess this is the closest thing to what his plane looked like. He flew aircraft # B 12.
Where did you buy this from?
Got the same one to bad my mom damaged the rear machine guns while dusting it off
Sbd 3 merit Toys bomber is beuteful
this is what the ads promise but you actually get it here
Where do you buy the planes friend?
....was later seen running around his back yard with it and making airplane dive bomber and explosion sounds...

i want one to hang from my ceiling so bad !! such a cool model ! where can i get these at ?
I have a b-17 and sr 71 blackbird hanging from my ceiling and a p-51 but I broke it at school I need to fix it to put it back up
where do you buy at? airplane sbd
Where’d you get it?
I have one that has George Bush right below the cockpit on it as the pilot
@@MilitaryVehicleReviews will you do a stuka or a zero
Of course Bush never flew a Dauntless...he flew an Avenger...crashed 2 1/2 of them...

How much does it cost?
@@MilitaryVehicleReviews when I looked it up, it was 119
Its now $1500 for anyone wondering.
I tracked them down on the web and offered $500 for one but was turned down.
Honestly kinda crazy that this is $1500.
Makes you wonder how much a RC version costs.
I want to 3d print one of these though.
