I think ALL the TBX are hot except the -6 which i think was Coast Guard. I welcome information on this. I had a -6 and like a fool i let my brother sell it. 

I didn't know abt the Japanese radium and 1943. Most Japanese you see past this are VHF aircraft or "last ditch". I will have to try to verify this on my own.

I saw a TBY at a hamfair that had been completely repainted. I have no idea how the surface was prepped, but i was appalled to see it. OH, come to think of it, i do have a Navy grey repainted one !
