Cool subject, but a hard model to build, especially in this small scale.
I would love to see this one in 1/144

It is a simple model, but it's a nice kit. A deck don't fit good to fuselage, but rest of model looks good. In theory it's a fast built, but i will make it as good as I can, so it will be some filling and sanding.

Ok, good to hear this is a good one.
I've had a go at a mirage type IX once, but it had parts that were not completely moulded, and a general bad fit, so I gave up on it, and promised myself to not build another Mirage kit.

very nice result in the melted muuffler

@Spanjaard thank you, I hope to achieve some nice rust variations at those dented spots

Spanjaard
I am sure you will 🙂

You're doing a good job of adding all the details that Tamiya kits of this era lack. 👍

I found some time to work on these kits, so here are some new photos. Thanks for following!

Nicolas
The instruction isn't mentioning the stand at all. As the torpedo is under the COG I would try to fix it to the torpedo.
Very nice progres so far. 👍

Ogre-Trombone
Leaning that way, Nicolas. I don't like it, but that's probably what I'll need to do.

Mr D
Nice model 👌
Was the Devastator similar to the Dauntless??
Like the subject....will be watching 😃👍

Ogre-Trombone
@Mr D, the Devastator was a pre-War torpedo bomber that was one of the most advanced aircraft of its time. Unfortunately. it was already obsolete at the start of the war. It was slow and underpowered, and early-War tactics left its crews extremely vulnerable.

Skyhiker
The Douglas TBD Devastator, was the U.S. Navy's main torpedo bomber. It was introduced in 1935, but was obsolete by 1939. They were replaced with the Grumman TBF Avenger.

Mr D
Thanks for the info
Ogre & Skyhiker 👍👍
I didn't know much about them, the pre-war yellow wings are smart scheme 👌

Mid Franconian
Great project!

Guy Rump
Looking great, following. 👍

Casey Beckett
Great idea, the foam/tape /white glue - I'm stealing this!

Mr D
Both coming along really nicely now, the flap lines look a lot better now.
Looking like all the build updates.
Good luck with next steps 👌😁👍👍

Ogre-Trombone
Thanks, Mr D. I'm trying not to let the asymmetry bother me on the black-primed model. I wish I'd made a template or measured them instead of trying to follow the old panel lines. Still, I'm glad I made the effort.

Pure improvisation, Casey! It seems to be holding up so far. I want to do open or partially-opened canopies, so it didn't make sense to glue them in place, which is what I usually would have done.

Ogre-Trombone
It's very hot and dry where I am right now, and the paint isn't responding the way I'd like. I'll have to come back when conditions are better.

Mr D
Your doing a 👍 job, All the hard work will pay off, nice project 👍👍
