| USN MKIII MOD2 Telescopic gunsight Howdy Y'all.. My first post here, hopefully in an appropriate spot... Y'all seem quite the knowledgable crowd. I'm drawing a 3-d mod of the Douglas TBD-1 Devastator and I am looking for images/ technical drawings of the USN MKIII MOD2 Telescopic gunsight as well as the MKXXIV torpedo director sight.. Also any tech drawings or photos of the torpedo well/fairing on the TBD. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance! attached is a sample image of the 3/4 completed model |

| Wow! Quick reply!... Thank you! Much clearer scan than the one I found online...The above mentioned torpedo director can be seen too, mounted below the gunsight. |

 | Weird, honestly I believed until now that it was used for a better view of the target ships when divebombing, it must work as the ww1 scope sights. |

| Nice images, by the way when I wrote "divebombing" i was refering to the scope in the Dauntless, obviously the Torpedo armed Devastator was not a divebomber.  |
