discussion TBM-3 Avenger, Academy 1/48

[Guest]

Hi all!!!

Here comes my TBM-3 Avenger from Academy. This aircraft was in service on the carrier "USS Bunker Hill".

It's a stunning kit with a lot of details and a really good fit. It was fun to build this model. For this build I used colors from Gunze's "US Navy Set".

The carrier deck comes from Eduard and I used colors from Revell to paint. Pilots and ground crew are from the Navy Personnel-Set from Tamiya.

I fixed the Figures with modeling clay because I want to use the carrier deck again.

Another stunning build Stefan, the Avenger looks brilliant, as do the crew members and the diorama base. Top stuff.

Yep, both are reboxes of the Accurate Miniatures kit, I grabbed the Italeri boxing for the FAA markings
