Just in case you don’t frequent the Group Build forums, I will post a few pics here! This is Monogram’s Devastator done up in the scheme of George Gay- the only surviving member of Torpedo 8 from Hornet after the attacks at Midway.
And lastly a shot from the front showing off the torpedo nose art…
Thanks for looking!
Finally finished her, 'eh? Looks good, guy!
Fade to Black…
WOW ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! That is one fantastic looking Devastator. Great job.

Thanks guys!! It was one of my most challenging builds to date- but I am glad it came out as it did-- a little rough around some edges- but that’s Monogram for you [:D]
beaytiful Jeeves.
Good one, Mike…
I remember that kit - it had a fantastic brochure with a Shepherd Paine dio in it…a downed Devastator and the pilot was helping the wounded gunner into the life raft…
man - that brings back some good memories - thanks for that!
wow that is beautiful, just beautiful. Is it 1/48?
Keep it up /Johan
Very nicely done! Thays the best built Monogram TBD I’ve seen. Good work 
Wow…excellent build. Any shots of the engine detail in close up?
Nice job. I have one in the stash but can never bring myself to actually start it.
Fantastic job there, George Gay’s ride huh, my oh my oh my!
The only thing that I could see was that the antenna wire was apparently missing (I may have missed it anyway). But other than that, it’s a fantastic job. You really done good.
___________________________-
It’s there, it really is there, but it is faint. You can see it (at least I could) the antenna wire plus the wire going up to the antenna wire.
Hey there, IT’S REALLY THERE!(he said loudly)
Nice job on the Devastator Mike.

Beautiful! I have a partially finished Monogram TBD myself but am going to have trouble finishing as I am missing some canopy pieces, the flaps, the torpedo and the rear gun. I guess that happenss after you pull out old builds from storage. I also have to re-decal as now I know about future!
She’s a beaut, great paint job thanks for the pics…
beautifully done. I also like the fact that you made the wings posable.
Nicely done Jeff. That’s not an easy kit to build, but you did it well. Thanks for sharing.
Regards, Rick
Heya guys-- thanks for looking!
Lee-- That sounds cool!! Mine just came with a book on all the Pacific dive and torpedo bombers from the Detail and Scale series…wish I had the Paine booklet instead LOL
Johan-- Yes sir-- 1/48…
John-- I appreciate the comment-- there sure aren’t a lot of builds of this one out there are there?
mucker-- Sorry bud-- here is a little bit more closeup-- I have yet to master this camera’s Macro though…
Swanny-- I would love to see your take on this build.
vance-- it is there…you can barely see it in the second pic-- I use 4 lb fishing line so it is a bit faint.
Thanks to you Thad, jboutin, and Dave! Glad to have this one behind me [;)]
Very nice job…Jeeves…one day I make a Devastator is a strange bird but I like it…
Do you use any detailing set on it?
Thanks for sharing
Cheers
Awesome build Mike! [tup]
Very nice Jeeves !
The engine detail and the torp nose art are nice touches !
And I (for one) am a fan of working parts - I like the foldable wings !
