When the machine entered service in 1937 it was the most modern carrier aircraft in the world: an all-metal cantilever low-wing monoplane with retractable landing gear, folding wings and an enclosed cockpit for a crew of three, at a time when biplanes still ruled elsewhere above the decks. The US Navy took over something over a hundred and thirty of them.
Five years later it was hopelessly out of date. On the morning of the fourth of June 1942 the American carriers at Midway sent three torpedo squadrons against the Japanese force. The best-known of them lost all fifteen of its machines and one man from the crews survived. Not a single hit was scored, but the low-flying torpedo aircraft pulled the Japanese fighter patrol down to the water, and thereby cleared the way for the dive bombers that decided the battle. The type was withdrawn from the front line immediately afterwards.
The long greenhouse canopy over three seats has dozens of narrow frames and is very hard to paint without a template. The set divides it into individual parts for both sides of the glazing, so the frame gets a shade that looks the same from outside and from the cockpit.
The modeler obtains the plastic parts of the aircraft separately.
