Quick review of USN-91 Carrier Planes #3

[33YearsGHQ]

I will attempt to get some photos of these tiny aircraft later, but here is a quick review of this great new pack:
-TBD Devastator, you receive 5 with wings extended and 5 with folded wings
-The dimensions check out to 1/2400 almost perfectly
-The overall shape is excellent and sits just right on the carrier deck
- The shape of the wings and tail look good
- It looks like it is loaded with a bomb, but the nose of the bomb almost looks like the nose of a torpedo
- Overall assessment: Excellent I would give it an A

-Vought Vindicator, you receive 5 with wings extended and 5 with folded wings
-The dimensions check out to 1/2400 almost perfectly
-The overall shape is very good and captures the canopy nicely
-The shape of the wings and tail look accurate
- No bomb load, which is no problem
- Overall assessment: Excellent I would give it an A

-Brewster Buffalo, you receive (2) sprues of 5 each
- The dimensions check out to 1/2400 scale
- The shape of the wings and tail look accurate
- The overall look is decent, but does not quite capture the chubby fuselage, but this is a small aircraft in 1/2400 scale - so I am not going to complain
- Overall assessment: Very good I would give it a B or B+

wrt "It [TBD Devastator] looks like it is loaded with a bomb, but the nose of the bomb almost looks like the nose of a torpedo."

It probably is intended to be a torpedo. When the Devastator carried a torpedo, the torpedo was semi-recessed. The nose of the torpedo extended almost to the engine cowling with a significant downward angle (the torpedo was almost horizontal when the plane was on the ground). .

Bombs carried under the fuselage fit in the internal bomb bay, so the nose wouldn't be visible.

Thanks for the clarification Donald, then I would call it an A+
