russ c Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hi Everyone, Here`s some pic`s of my latest build that I finished last week. Revells boxing of the Monogram 1/48 Devastator Done in the markings of VT-5, aboard USS Yorktown , circa 1937-41 Added a few bits of extra detail, some from and Eduard etched set ( ignition harness, seat buckles and a few details on the cockpit walls ) Some from scraps of plastic card ( wing folds, wheel wells, cockpit floor and inside of the bottom of the fuselage ) and some bits of wire ( wing folds and torpedo slings ) Decals from `Yellow-Wings Decals` set 48-001 and the stash The carrier base is a Eduard accessory and I know it`s the wrong colour for the time frame, but it looks better than the garden table. Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking Cheers Russ 61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darby Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Very nice build. I did that one a few years ago but in the less colourful option. Wouldn't mind giving one a go again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hi Russ, this is THE scheme a Devastator should be seen in! Nothing like Navy Yellow Wings! Talking of which, how are the Yellow Wings decals behaving? I have never used this brand, yet, but was going to order some for... a TBD-1 in 1/72... Superb build. Congrats JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
