Good job! The TBD looks great and right at home with the other two. The photos look just fine from here.

I just dug one of these out of storage a few weeks ago and am going to restore it. I'm most likely going to go retro on it and do a prewar scheme.

You've done a great job on that old fossil!
I've got one of those with the Squadron Shop vac canopy, it's in the same box as an AM TBF-1 in 48th. I've been trying for years to figure out how to diminish the HUBBLEY TOY diecast pot metal looking wing fold hinges.

Very nice job! :drinkers:

Your next build should be matching 1:48 Scale FA-18 Hornet, EA-6B Prowler and an S-3B Viking in their 100th Anniversary markings!
:shock: :wink:

Thanks for the compliments guys. The build was box-stock with after market decals.

That Prowler looks fantastic. 8)

Second A.F. I look forward to seeing your "restoration."

Yes Tom, it is the same kit. It has been reissued several times, but this was an older boxing I picked up at a swapmeet for just a few $. I spent more on paint and decals than the kit. :lol:
