Dana Bell's excellent book shows that Devastators left the factory with the interiors painted in the same aluminum lacquer as the exterior. Once deployed, the interiors were usually repainted with whatever paint was on hand. For the second, I've chosen bronze green.
The challenge here is to eliminate the seam without destroying the corrugation. A very narrow file did the job reasonably well, but it pays not to look too closely.
I tried to repair some of the lost rivets. The scribe raises the plastic. There’s still a hole there, but hopefully it still gives a raised rivet effect. I’ll go a little heavier with the primer here and try to fill them.
I decided that both would have torpedoes, though the kit does have the option to carry a bomb. Test fitting showed that the interior is visible even with the torpedo in place. I’ll probably hand paint the visible surfaces even if I will be the only one to ever see them.
I’d bought these vacuform canopies as a backup in case parts were ever lost or broken, but I decided I might as well use them here. Unfortunately I cracked them when cutting them out. First time with these, so I’ll know better next time. I really like the thin-ness and transparency.
