White Turkey...1/48 Grumman TBM-1C Avenger ASW USN - NEW PICS ADDED


Recommended Posts

Now, that's rarely seen, excellent job. It's really diffcult to maje a white plane "live", but your dad certainly did manage.

I concur, a grey or dark grey wash might have been more suitable for the panelt lines, but it's only nit picking ;)

Best,

Stephane

He used a dark grey wash. I think it looks so blackish because he let the black pre-shading shine through a bit more than he does usually to make the model look more worn and weathered and to distort the plain white surface.

WOW !! Another great build. I really like the idea of paying tribute to one of the overlooked theatres of operation. The Atlantic Ocean ASW operations. Bob H.

Love it. I always like when someone does something out of the usual. 

Mark

thanks!

 

as mentioned in the thread previously, white Avengers were rare but they existed :-)

on the only existing, partial pic of the original aircraft it looked all-white, so my dad and I decided for that option because we have never seen it done before :-)

That is an awesome Avenger.

I am quite a fan of Avengers and yours is one of the finest in-scale examples I've seen.

:clap:

thanks very much, appreciated! :blush:

Hello Reini,

Fantastic build. I like the color scheme a lot. Bright and nicely weathered.

Regards, Orion / The Netherlands.
