Trumpeter 1/32 Scale US TBD-1 Devastator Torpedo Bomber Model Kit TM02226

Trumpeter 1/32 Scale US TBD-1 Devastator Torpedo Bomber Model Kit The Douglas TBD Devastator was a torpedo bomber of the United States Navy, ordered in 1934, it first flew in 1935 and entered service in 1937. At that point, it was the most advanced aircraft flying for the USN and possibly for any navy in the world. However, the fast pace of aircraft development caught up with it, and by the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor the TBD was already outdated. It performed well in some early battles, but in the Battle of Midway the Devastators launched against the Japanese fleet were almost totally wiped out. The type was immediately withdrawn from front line service, replaced by the Grumman TBF Avenger.   FEATURES: Length: 323.5mm Wingspan: 471.2mm Detailed fuselage & wing w/accurate design Highly detailed  Engines Finely detailed cockpit, gear cabin, Grooved rubber tires PE parts included   Please note: glue and paint will be required to complete this model.
