TBD-1 Devastator VT-6, 1Feb 1941, Airfix 1/72

October 15, 2021 · in Aviation · · 8 ≡ · 1.3K

This was flown by LtCdr. Massey and RMC1c Grent, over the Kwajalein lagoon in Marshall Islands. Massey was later lost at Midway.
The kit is an old boxing of the kit. Except for the crude clear parts, the kit was pretty clean. The decals were Starfighter USN Hit and Run.

    Looks great! I gave this same kit to my grandaughter for her birthday and we're building it together now - she wanted the silver/yellow/red scheme (of course)...
