--------------------

 

This new decal sheet from Starfighter Decals includes markings for 2 different TBDs, VS-42 and VS-71. National Insignia for only 1 aircraft. Aircraft Data for 2 planes. Prop tip markings designed to fit the Airfix kit included.

Special thanks goes to Mike Lampros and Mark Tutton. 

The 2 aircraft include colorful pre-war paint schemes. 

  • TBD-1 Devastator with VS-71 0299 USS Wasp in 1940.

  • TBD-1 Devastator with VS-42 0296 USS Ranger in March 1941.

The 2 pages of instructions are clear and include color views of all areas of each aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet with wingtip decals.  The paint schemes with their bright colors and bold yellow stripes are a treat to behold.  This is a very nice decal sheet and sure to please 1/72 modelers with a passion in these colorful pre-war American planes.
