It comes in a brand new box and features a detailed exterior, true-to-scale detail, an opening canopy, and includes a display stand.

The TBD-1 Devastator played a pivotal role in the early stages of World War II, notably during the Battle of Coral Sea in May 1942, where Lieutenant Commander James Brett of Torpedo Squadron 2 (VT-2) piloted "White T-1" from the USS Lexington. During the battle, VT-2 launched TBD-1 Devastators on a strike against the Japanese aircraft carrier Shōhō, successfully contributing to its eventual sinking despite facing heavy anti-aircraft fire and enemy fighters. This engagement marked the first time opposing fleets fought without direct visual contact, highlighting the evolving nature of naval warfare and halting Japanese expansion in the Pacific. This 1:72 scale model captures the intricate details and authentic markings of the TBD-1 Devastator, serving as a tribute to the bravery of the crews and their critical role in the early battles of World War II, making it a must-have for collectors and aviation enthusiasts.
