The Douglas TBD Devastator was ordered by the United States Navy in 1934, made its first flight in 1935 and entered service in 1937. At this point it was one of the most advanced naval aircraft of its time.

The three-person crew included a pilot, torpedo officer or navigator as well as a radio operator and gunner. The model was powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-1830-64 Twin Wasp with 900 hp.

At the beginning of the Second World War, technical development had already passed the Devastator. After the heavy losses in the Battle of Midway, the model was withdrawn from front line service and replaced by the Grumman TBF Avenger. The kit takes up the characteristic shape of the torpedo bomber with folding wings and detailed interior areas.
