Techmod 72134 - Douglas TBD-1 Devastator 1/72

Techmod 72134 - Douglas TBD-1 Devastator (1/72) is a high-quality decal set dedicated to the carrier-based aircraft model Douglas TBD-1 Devastator in 1:72 scale. The product was developed for modelers and collectors who value historical authenticity of details and precision craftsmanship.

The Douglas TBD-1 Devastator was an American torpedo bomber and carrier-based bomber used by the US Navy from 1937 to 1942. It was distinguished by a pioneering design for its time: it was the first aircraft of its type built entirely of metal, featuring retractable landing gear and a sealed cockpit. It saw action, among other missions, in the Battle of Midway during World War II, where it became famous for the crews' sacrifice even though by then it was already inferior to more modern designs. The presented paint schemes come from the prewar and early World War II period, attributed to carriers such as USS "Enterprise," USS "Yorktown," USS "Saratoga," USS "Lexington," and USS "Ranger," as well as training units at NAS Pensacola.
