1:32 TBD-1 Devastator TFace is a double-sided Eduard painting mask for a model of the American carrier torpedo bomber in 1:32 scale. It is not a kit but an aid for painting.
Responsibility details are not available.
An Eduard set of masks in the TFace version, that is prepared for the outer and the inner side of the glazing. On the Devastator that is particularly useful, because the cockpit glazing is long, divided into several sections and runs across most of the spine of the fuselage. The model is often built with the parts slid back and the cockpit is visible, so the frames have to be correctly painted on the inside as well. The mask is applied directly to the clear part and cutting strips out of tape is no longer needed.
The Douglas TBD-1 Devastator was a carrier torpedo bomber of the US Navy. The crew was three men, a pilot, a navigator and a radio operator who also served as gunner, seated one behind the other under a common long canopy. Under the fuselage the aircraft carried a torpedo or a bomb load. The wings folded upwards for parking in a hangar. In the mid 1930s it was a modern machine, but by the start of the war its performance was no longer enough and it was replaced by a newer type.
Wash the clear parts in lukewarm water with detergent and from then on touch them only with gloves or through paper, as fingerprints will show under the varnish. First mask and spray the inner sides, and after drying the outside. Apply the paint in thin coats. Take the mask off while the varnish has only just dried. Long glazing looks better if it is polished with abrasive paste before painting and gone over with clear varnish, which makes small scratches from the mold disappear.
