Coming soon from Cyber-Hobby.com is a 1:72 kit of the land-based Army version of the Helldiver - the A-25 Shrike.
Incorporating a number of changes from the Navy's SB2C, around 900 Shrikes were ordered, although by the time the first were ready for service, the USAAF had lost interest and passed them on to the US Marines, with a few also going to Australia before the RAAF too rejected the aircraft.

Cyber-Hobby.com's kit will feature reworked wheels and gunner's position among other changes.

Kit #5115 - 1/72 A-25A-5 Shrike will be available worldwide soon.

Please remember, when contacting retailers or manufacturers, to mention that you saw their products highlighted here - on AEROSCALE.

I think Sven will do a fine review of what appears to be an exciting model.

Yeah, saw this on the DML site and it says it comes with two 5000 pound bombs.
