Building The Great Wall Hobby 1/48 Scale TBD-1 Devastator Torpedo Bomber

In this 35th model build video for the channel, we’ll construct, paint, and detail a 1/48th scale Douglas TBD-1 Devastator torpedo bomber from Great Wall Hobby - Kit #L4809. During this episode we will also provide information, images, and video clips concerning the Devastator squadrons of VT-3, VT-6, and VT-8 as well as some of the men from these units.

We’ll revisit the Devastator in the future (Project #38) with a different model manufacturer and concentrate solely on the Torpedo Squadron 8 (VT-8) from the USS Hornet in 1942 in that installment.
