Trumpeter 1/32 Douglas Devastator TBD1

[BarryW]

This is a really nice kit and clearly designed by Trumpy's 'A' team. It fits well, has enough detail, but the instructions while not terrible are not great but do the job.

I did not use the kit schemes, most builds we see are the 'yellow wing' pre-war scheme, while I wanted to do a Battle of Midway scheme For this I used decals from ASK which did the job, though I had to use gallons of solution to make the wing decals conform to the corrugated wings. The aircraft I chose to depict is one of the few that survived.

That won't be for a while Chris. I want to do a total of four more builds before I get to that. So it is probably about 5 months, perhaps less depending on how things go.
