I have been reading about this little-known WW II aircraft that was a competitor to the TBF/M family, and was actually in limited Fleet service, though for various reasons never made a combat deployment (production shifting from Vought to Consolidated, a 18-month delay in getting the factory up and running, corporate hanky-panky leading to several execs from both companies winding up in Federal Prison). 1100 were contracted for, but the two squadrons working up, VT-153 and VT-154, never deployed prior to VJ-Day, and they were soon disestablished. Are there any injection-molded kits of this little-known warbird? TIA.
