Hi Folks, After the build of the Japanese Nakajima B5N2 'Kate', next in line was her Nemesis, the infamous American torpedo bomber carrier aircraft Douglas TBD-1 'Devastator'. The kit is from the Chinese brand GWH (or Great Wall Hobby) from 2012. I was pleasantly surprised by the nearly perfect fit of the fuselage and wings. But things started to get complicated once I dry fit the canopy, not the closed one provided, but the seven-piece open canopy alternative. Lot of sanding and testing of the last 3 parts of the canopy was needed as for the radioman/gunner can show his 0.30 Browning M2 displayed. Except for that, the rest of the build went straight on. Black basing and pre-shading technique was used to 'break' monotony on the one colour top fuselage. Colors came mostly from Mr. Color 367 (Blue Gray) and AK RC 220 (Light Gull Grey). Figures came from spares, Tamiya for the pilot and an old Monogram for the radioman/gunner. I also used Eduard decals from they newer Wildcat kit to represent this aircraft used by VT-5 during the Battle of The Coral Sea, and I can tell you it was quite an adventure to peel the carrier film off! Nonetheless, the tail was masked and painted. A really nice kit, but it put to test all my skills developed in the last 3 years since I return to the hobby. Very glad on how it came to life. You can see all the building process at my instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/cris.oveja.negra/ All the best from Santiago, keep modelling, Cris. -

Hi comrades! Here is another one of my past works It's GWH Devastator - fantastic kit built OOB with some modifications and Eduard brass, National insignia painted. Most critical areas to update in the kit - wheel wells and main undercarriage legs (must be shortened). Thanks for looking!- 20 replies

While waiting for the parts for my Vampire build to arrive I have started this kit. The Hannants web site states this is NOT Valom. Valom kits must be scary. I like Devastators. Some pics. I have made a start on the interior and have finished the torpedo. I will post some pictures tomorrow. Thanks for looking. Stephen

Many sources states that TBD-1 camo in 1941/1942 was blue-gray top and light gray bottom. Like this: and here it is our guy: as for me, undersurfaces color is more close to Insignia White than USN Light Gray... any thoughts on this ?
