More Fleet Air Arm Stuff- Avengers


Recommended Posts

Hiya Folks,

Thanks for being so kind about my other Fleet Air Arm threads and for wanting to see more of the stuff from my cabinet. At the risk of hogging the forum here is a shorter list of subjects tonight, featuring the Grumman Avenger in RN service;

Here are some Avenger Mk.I`s and II`s built using the fabulous 1/48th scale Accurate Miniatures kit as a basis, some with resin wing folds;

Hi Tony. Lovely collection the Avengers they certainly carried an odd collection of colour schemes, together with it's ungainly looks and it's sence of purpose, makes it a winner with me. Although I still have to build one. Thanks for sharing them with us.
