tonyot Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) 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; European Theatre,......ASW Scheme. D-Day,... East Indies Fleet British Pacific Fleet; Moving to a larger scale, here is the Trumpeter 1/32nd scale kit as one of the Avenger Mk.II`s which took part in the famous Palembang raid; And a later version of the Trumpeter 1/32nd scale kit, the TBM-3 converted to an Avenger Mk.III; Post War Avenger AS.4 built from the fantastic Accurate Miniatures kit with a resin wing fold; Moving to a smaller scale, here is the 1/72nd scale Hasegawa Avenger AS.4/5 kit in Suez markings as one of the pair flown by the Ships Flight of HMS Bulwark; A final imposter,...the Accurate Images Helldiver converted into a Fleet Air Arm aircraft; All the best and more to follow, Tony O Edited January 5, 2013 by tonyot 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heloman1 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 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. Coli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
