Looking forward to the next instalment to add to this impressive line-up. Cheers.. Dave. And I've built the Academy/Minicraft TBF-1 three times as well. Need another one of those to do an early two-tone grey example. Something to look for at Thornbury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventora3300 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Lovely paint job and decals - the inside of the cockpit seems to 'glow' through the canopies. Nearly ready to fly round the room on a mission! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 That is looking great Tim, you've surely shown me the way with my old & now dismantled Airfix Avenger. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve. Buy another Steve - you know you want to. Seriously - there are some planes that I just cannot say no to. TMF/TBM Avenger, P-38 Lightning, and P-61 Black Widow are right in there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I'm not short of Avengers, I've got Frog, Academy & Hasegawa in stock but this one has disintegrated pretty much back to its component parts so a rebuild was the obvious (to me) solution & seeing as the Academy ones are the wrong model for their markings then I'll "re-purpose" some & do as you have. I've got RNZAF & FAA planned for my Academy ones. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
