Built from the Accurate Miniatures kit, adding only my own seat belts and buckles, and drilling out the guns. The finish is Model Master Enamels, modified to my own idea of what these paints should look like. Decals are kit.

Built model represents the TBF normally flown by Ens. George H. W. Bush, off the carrier San Jacinto. On the day of him being shot down, he was flying X3, not this bird.
