cema_ga Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 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! 48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Joyce Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Great build and weathering! Any areas of construction to watch out for? I just picked up the kit after watching the movie "Dive Bomber." The movie has great color footage of pre-war, soon to be early war, navy aircraft, including the Devastator. Cheers, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cema_ga Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 3 hours ago, Mark Joyce said: Great build and weathering! Any areas of construction to watch out for? Thank You! This kit has very good feet, 99% of parts just "clicks" on place. I recommend to short the main undercarriage lags and add the brass in wheel wells- see photos. The most sensitive area - wing leading edges because of surface structure - it's very easy to make the damage here and very complicate to restore the details. And I recommend to paint the national insignia, because I don't trust in decal solvents to be effective on such "extreme" surface of the wings. And, as usual, some errors in coloring guide (in my example propeller tips were wrong colored, I painted them according to the period photos) - check your reference, TBDs like all other types of USN planes changed the markings frequently in the beginning of the WWII. That's all I remember now. And I'm here for future questions on subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Fabulous job, please tell me what paint and colour you used for the top blue/grey colour on this model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Beautiful Devastator. I like the colours and level of weathering. I have one of these squirrelled away in the loft - tell me - are the photo etch wheel wells included in the kit? I too would be interested in what paints you used for the basic colours.

I have this set of Gunze MrColor for exterior of USN WWII aircrafts. Color on TBD is C367. I believe, now all the paints available separate, You don't need to buy a set. 7 hours ago, Baldy said: are the photo etch wheel wells included in the kit? No, in kit it's just empty. The parts are from Eduard set (exterior) for the GWH kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
