Scale and Subject

Collector Appeal

Display Requirements

The finished piece measures approximately 5.75 inches in length with an 8.25 inch wingspan, so verify that your display shelf or cabinet can accommodate those dimensions.

Questions about this item

What display space is needed for the 1/72 scale model with its 8.25 inch wingspan?

The diecast Devastator measures 5.75 inches long with an 8.25 inch wingspan, so allow at least that footprint on a shelf or desk when the included stand is used.

Can the opening canopy be left open without stressing the hinges on this diecast aircraft?

Yes, the canopy is designed to stay open for display; the metal and plastic construction holds the position without putting strain on the hinge mechanism.

How can I confirm the model matches the 1942 USS Enterprise VT-6 markings shown on the box?

Check the tail code and squadron insignia on the finished model — they should correspond to Lt Cdr EE Lindsey's aircraft from the Battle of Midway as depicted in the official SkyMax Models release.
