Completed

This is going to be LCDR John Waldron's TBD. Going light on the weathering since this particular airframe was a spare. Waldron had wrecked T-1 prior to the battle, so T-16 was taken down from the overhead in the hanger bay and prepared for battle. Based on the picture of him taking off for the battle, it looks like all of the repainting was done (overpainted red circles, rudder stripes and squadron numbers), but I don't think the aircraft flew too many times before its final flight.
