1/72 scale TBD Devastator

A Precise Reproduction of a Classic Aircraft Recognition Tool. This 1/72 scale model is a faithful replica of the silhouette identification kits once used by both military personnel and civilians to spot and identify aircraft from a distance—an essential skill during times of heightened air defense awareness.

• Originally developed as an affordable, do-it-yourself training aid, this model continues that legacy of practical utility and historical accuracy.
• Crafted from durable black matboard, just like the original wartime models, each piece is precision laser-cut for clean edges and easy assembly. The parts come on sheets, ready to be popped out and constructed with the included step-by-step instructions.
• To enhance its educational value, the kit also includes background on the WEFT system (Wings, Engine, Fuselage, Tail)—the key method used for visual aircraft identification. Whether you're a history enthusiast, modeler, or educator, this piece offers a unique and hands-on way to explore aviation history.

*Assembly required. Models come flat and must be pushed out of sheet to assemble. Glue not required. Black soot may be around pieces as a by product of the laser cutting process.
