I really like the TBD as an airplane, the wing shape, how it blends with the fuselage, the overall proportions and shape, I think it is just a great looking machine. Can't wait to see the final result.
I just bought this and looking at the instructions I think that you should remove the internal masking from the torpedo window, but leave the outside masking in place if you intend to have the cover doors open. (AS MOLDED)then remove the masking after all painting & weathering is done.
You could be right, I'm past that stage now, I masked it both sides and you won't really see it unless you pick up the model and look inside from underneath.

Yes, I am looking forward to the paint scheme n it.
FFR, omit the square brass sections from the rear of the torpedo. They were a 1943 addition for the Avenger.
Looks to be a HUGE improvement over the old Monogram kit, which was just horrible.
I'm really looking forward to the 1/72 release of the TBD.
I built one Hobby Boss kit. That was enough for me.

Is this the Great Wall kit re-boxed and re-issued??
