Don, thanks so much for revisiting and posting on here the write-up on 00380 you did for Kacper.
Unfortunately I was given a bum steer by the Bill Gunston book 'Aircraft Of World War Two' that is a prized part of my book collection. The abbreviated story he relates of this TBF-1's involvement in the battle has always fascinated me and I've always wanted a model of it and why I jumped at doing the repaint. Unfortunately the otherwise excellent accompanying Pino dell'Orco illustration in the book gives an incorrect identification number. While 8-T-3 certainly existed, it's not the one I wanted to portray.
Karol's build has shown a couple of other boo-boos that need correcting, so while I'm at fixing those I'll change that fuselage code and will submit to downloads in it's revised form.

Cheers, Garry G.
