Here is a photo showing the 1/32 BBI Dauntless at a toy show:

It shows one in the box so my hope is these are ready for production.
Here is a close up:

This looks pretty darn good. A little bit of weathering and I will have zero complaints.
EDIT: Found another photo which seems to show weathering:

Unless it sells for $50 like the Phantom!

Awesome! Especially cool with the 1943 red outlined insignia.

Very nice and hopefully not too far off! I like the inclusion of the two crew figures! This will go very well with the 21c 32x Zeros and Corsairs

Even though BBI is notoriously slow for repaints, I think I'll wait for an earlier Midway paint scheme, or even a Battle of the Coral Sea one...the sculpt looks great, I'm just not that excited about the colours on this one...

Kick ass.

I'm glad BBI is going on with 1:32. I'm already in the planning stages of building more shelving to hold all of my NEW aircraft...
...that haven't come to me yet...
P-51Ds
Fw-190Fs
Fw-190As
and ones that haven't come out yet...
Dauntless
Whatever jet BBI makes next
Whatever plane 21C makes next

So BBI is going to take on 21st Century with 1/32 WW II planes, in addition to its F-4J jet.
Competition should bring out the best in everyone...particularly the customer.

Great looking model. Anyone heard any news when the SBD will be out?

heh, funny. It's got the stunted landing gear like the Admiral version. It must retract like the P-47's and compress when retracted.....
