Well, if they can make a Kate then they can make a Devastator for sure! And the colors won't be so darn controversial.

As I have repeatedly said I'll buy 1 of each Devastator and there are as many livery options as there are for the Buffalo, if not more!

leeG, you have a great set up, any chance we can see more pictures.

I have used the paper template method for years I'm to see I'm not the only one.

I would in for a shelf of Devastors. Couple of prewar versions and a few sporting their war paint schemes.

By great set up, I assume you mean my display cabinet. I have two similar Pulaski Furniture Company Curios. They have a sliding door with lock, mirror back, and the shelves are 10 inch by 28 inches. Great for keeping the dust out and the models in. It works well for 1/72 scale, but a B-25 is about the largest model you would want on a shelf. I'll only be able to fit 3 SB2Cs and 2 TBFs on one shelf. The Navy had big planes hanging on only one prop.

Now that is one impressive display! No framework to block the view either.

What are the aircraft identification profioles on the bottom of the case? Are they cards? Or are they pages from a book?

They are a deck of cards based on the old aircraft spotter card decks the Navy Training Division used to issue in 1943. Seems to me I picked them up at the either National Air And Space Museum or the Patuxent River Naval Air Museum.

Jim, you are the one guy I knew would notice it. It has special significance as I obtained it from the estate of Charlie Mott, one of the original Flying Tiger pilots.
