Best (initial release) SBD Dauntless - Hobby Master

We had a poll on MH I relating to the controversial topic of the best SBD Dauntless (from the initial 3 HM releases). I would like us to reconsider and vote again (a recount is required due to loss of previous polling station and inability to read 'hanging die-cast electronic chads' .

I voted the Midway SBD because i like the looks of it better then the others.
It blends in well with my other navy planes.

I chose the Midway SBD. Not because of looks or anything, but because of it's use at Midway. But I do like it's looks.

Re: Best (initial release) SBD Dauntless - Hobby Master

I voted for the Midway version, as it is the one I chose to buy (only have the one). Reason: Midway was such an important battle, the turning point in the war with Japan. I've read numerous books on the subject.

I like them all, but the Lexington's pre-war markings are sharp. And it gives you hope that they may actually do pre-war dive/torpedo bombers.

Re: Best (initial release) SBD Dauntless - Hobby Master

I chose the Lexington version as well. I love its uniqueness and the way it stands out in my collection. I own and love the others as well but this is the one that sucked me in to the line.

Display the two seafaring beauties together for maximum effect - the Lexington Dauntless alongside the silver A2A Swordfish .

Re: Best (initial release) SBD Dauntless - Hobby Master

Voted Midway - love blue Navy planes. The Lexington version is so sharp looking, but I would have preferred a red, blue, or green tail. Too much yellow ---- and I love yellow!

Don't despair HotTrap, I'm convinced that a colourful (red/blue/green) version of the Dauntless will appear next year .
