1/48 Accurate Miniatures TBM-3 Avenger

[Jeeves]

Just had to try building something for this one! Was thinking of doing a torpedo Helldiver instead-- the loadout information mentions something about their use...but I couldn't find any photoa of the -1C...but I knew this baby carried them

Got this figure set incomplete off of eBay-- only have 2 of the three...might still work though...

Great kit. I built this kit when it first came out and did a review for IPMS/USA. It even made the cover.
The built another one for a coworker. You'll have a great time with this one. You will need to follow the instructions. Gary

Been a crazy two weeks- but I got some time in tonight and started assembly-- I'm going to love painting and bringing out this wonderful detail...

Love the bomb bay roof...

Good work, matey. Are those release marks going to be covered by more 'black boxes' ??

Thank you for pointing them out Ian as I never really even think about or notice those sorts of things when I'm building

Putting the homemade filler to work in a little bit

It is a lot of nice detail in there.

Check the cockpit floor Mike, pretty sure all that is hidden when you install the floor.

Looking good Mike! I have to get back on mine!

 

[jknaus]

Watching with interest. Built this once and it was a real joy. Have fun with masking the bubble though :evil:
