TBD-1 Devastator VT-3 Midway
The Douglas TBD-1 Devastator was the US Navy’s premier torpedo bomber when hostilities broke out on December 7th 1941. Six months later it was completely obsolete and removed from combat operations. The subject of my build is from the [...]

Trumpeter 1/32 Messerschmitt Me 262A1-1a

Another Devastator
Bill Koppos has already done an excellent review of the kit on this site, to which I have little to add. I totally agreed with all his points about the strengths and weaknesses of what I thought was essentially a very good kit.
The only [...]
