Brock Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) Hello aircrafters, Does anyone have pictures of the NAS Rhode Island base station where the only produce TBD-1A Devastator with float pontoons use for training,testing and launching torpedoes during world War two? I'm looking to build a diorama for TRUMPETER # 03233 and pictures of island base station or where I might look for any ideas thank for all that may reply?

John1 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 My guess would be Quonset Point, RI since that base is right on the water. Brock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f8fanatic Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) I do believe this is the one you're looking for: https://www.worldwarphotos.info/gallery/usa/aircrafts-2-3/tbd/tbd-1a-devastator-buno-0268-1939-2/ Here's a link to a good number of color photos of a model of same: https://www.modelaces.com/douglas-tbd-1a-devastator-floatplane/ A typical scene would show the plane near the beach in the water with crew members, and you could do that without specific buildings or other structures needed.
