Interstate TDR-1 Attack Drone 1/72 Scale

This is the first attack drone developed by Interstate Aircraft and Engineering for the United States Navy during World War II. Approximately 200 aircraft were produced and deployed frequently or live-action against the Japanese forces in the Pacific, but the accuracy of the induction equipment was poor and could not increase the fishing results.

The actual machine is about 14.6m in total width, 10.9m in total length, so on a scale of 1/72 it is the total width of 20.3cm and the total length of 15.1cm.

Is this the first ever kit of the machine? Some great footage can be found on YouTube if anyone is seeking inspiration for this one.

I think it is: I was hoping for the manned version, with torpedo/bomb etc. in 1/48. One day maybe...
