The Curtiss SB2C Helldiver was one of those aircraft that was either loved or
hated- there was no middle ground. Forged in a hurry for the forthcoming war the
Helldiver was designed in a hurry, built by mostly by under skilled personnel while
being bombarded by the customer with their extra changes and demands. Even under this
pressure Curtiss managed to produce a prototype that flew, even though it would soon reveal
strength and build problems. This is what prototypes are for, however, the first production
model, the Dash-1, was beset by many problems that saw one carrier captain demanding
that the Helldivers be removed and the off loaded Douglas Dauntless dive bombers be
reinstated. From the SB2C-3 onwards, after undergoing a full modification programme, a
competent combat aircraft would emerge. Used throughout 1944/45 the Helldiver
squadrons, now operating from the fast carriers, took the war to the Japanese all the way
to Tokyo. Post 1945 the Helldiver would stay on active service until replaced by the
Douglas AD-1 Skyraider. Overseas usage would see later build models being operated
by France, Greece, Italy ,Portugal and Thailand. The Royal Navy also formed a single
squadron that would never deploy on active service. Undergoing flight testing in Britain, Eric
‘Winkle’ Brown would declare that the Helldiver was the worst aircraft he had ever flown. Wriiten by
Kev Darling with artwork and scale drawings by Sam Pearson.

The Dassault MD.452 Mystère was a straightforward development of the successful Dassault
Ouragan with a 30-degree swept wing and modified tail surfaces. The aircraft saw extensive
service with the French air force, evolving first into the Mystère IVA, and the Super Mystère,
which was the first Western European supersonic aircraft to enter mass production. Both
the Mystère IVA, and the Super Mystère saw extensive combat use with the Israeli Air
Force, while other operators of Mystère deriviatives included India and Honduras. While
aimed at both the general aviation enthusiast and the scale modeller, this latest addition to
the Warpaint range follows on the heels of newly-tooled kits from Czech manufacturer
Special Hobby, and is designed to help add both detail and context to a modelling project.
The book includes all the usual Warpaint features, with walkarounds of museum exhibits,
and artwork and scale drawings by Sam Pearson.
All these titles are available in printed format via our on demand printing service. Please contact our office for further information.

Mystère IV in flight. This was an evolutionary
development of the Mystère II, and although
bearing an external resemblance to the earlier
aircraft, the Mystère IV was in fact a new
design with aerodynamic improvements for
supersonic flight. (Dassault Archives)
