[Vic Balshaw]

Well gents, I'm kind of thinking the Devastator is done but I still have a bit to do on the dolly. Here is a little preview of the TBD-1 as it currently stands.

 

[SaparotRob]

Late chiming in, to common lately, but the build is impressive as always. I've been avoiding GW kits (to many disappointments, or lack of the correct skills), but this one appears to have been a trouble free build, cleanup and fit wise?

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Not had any significant problems with this one Ralph only those from my own making like the struts supporting the aircraft on the floats, very brittle and a couple snapped off, silly handling and the two halves took some persuading to join, but then again, I stuffed it full of extras.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

That's it folks, were done. My thanks tom you all for your kind words and help during this construction, it has been an enjoyable build. Again the finished aircraft but now with its dolly.
