Welcome to your modeling channel!
Today I inaugurate a new section, referring to the real History of the models we build. This is because I think the experience of recording a demo falls short without providing some historical data about why I like it.
So we start with the TBD Devastator, for now I will limit myself to giving a few strokes of its design, characteristics and how it acted.
I hope you like this type of videos that I will be making
