US Navy Douglas TBD1 Devastator Airfix 1/72













Airfix US Navy Devastator, full gloss finish and all. A good kit and an easy build, even the surface detail survived pretty intact in the building process. Had to sand the rivets down though just a tiny bit so they wouldn't be totally out of scale. Tikkurila Miranol enamels yellow and silver combined with Revell matt red, sealed with gloss varnish and Johnson acrylic floor wax. My only gripe is the canopy, it's thick and distorted but that's what you get with an old Airfix.
