DESCRIPTION:

The Douglas TBD-1 Devastator was a revolutionary design when it debuted in 1937, featuring the first all-metal construction and hydraulic folding wings for the U.S. Navy. Though it was tragically outclassed by the time of the Battle of Midway, the courage of the Devastator crews remains a cornerstone of naval history. This 1/32 scale kit is the definitive tribute to this historic aircraft, capturing its unique corrugated "metal skin" wings and massive greenhouse canopy.

This "Super Kit" features over 260 parts and a substantial 18-inch wingspan ($469\text{ mm}$).

• Folding Wings: Can be built in the folded position using accurate hinge detail—a must for saving shelf space.

• Intricate Interior: Features a complete three-man crew station (Pilot, Bombardier, Rear Gunner) with incredible detail on the radio gear and internal ribbing.

• Engine & Ordnance: Includes a detailed Pratt & Whitney R-1830 engine and the choice of a Mk.13 Torpedo or 500lb bombs.

• Premium Extras: Includes photo-etched brass for the seatbelts and cockpit details, plus authentic rubber tires.

• Markings: High-quality decals for two aircraft, including VT-6 (USS Enterprise) and the pre-war "Yellow Wings" high-visibility scheme from VT-2 (USS Lexington).
