LSP_Mike Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Well, if a producer wanted to do the TBD, all they would have to do is match the secrecy levels of WNW. when ready to issue, BAM, ready to sell, and get the jump on other competitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Silver Wings had a Val and Kate in their 2014 futures... http://www.silverwings.pl/2014-release-schedule.html ...but it's all gone now. Abandon all hope all ye who enter. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamF Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Are there any good drawings on these two? Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATCplSlade Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Tony, Why is it all gone? They released a couple of the planes on that list a few years later so maybe the Val and Kate will eventually turn up. Although I'd prefer plastic to resin.

ringleheim Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Perhaps it's more "To Be Deleted" Personally I don't think the Devastator would have sold that well to the average modeller. I could be wrong. That may well be true, but there are all kinds of new kits being made that is are at least as "obscure" as the Devastator, if not more so, or of a limited appeal. Not sure why no one has done the TBD. My advice would be to build it in 1/48 for anyone who loves this specific aircraft. It's a lot better than nothing!

On the real TBD, the cowling did look small— not a surprise as it was slow and underpowered by 1942 standards. All this said, without having taken a ruler to the kit, I thought it looked “promising”— something I couldn’t say with some other Trumpeter efforts… Bill M.

The Phantom Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) Hmmm. Change to possible set alarm for devastator queues at hannants. Surrounded by the great unwashed on a sat morning.
