Grumman Avenger 1/48th


Recommended Posts

Amazing!  Stunning!

As a big TBM Avenger fan (even though my preferred scale is 1/72) I had to take a look.

Glad I did.  Your work is just superb!

Well done!

:clap:

Beautiful! Makes me want to break out one of mine!

And yes, that tin fish certainly does smack you in the eyes!

Good work all round

So  this was the Navy's secret weapon, a torpedo so shiny that the Japanese were blinded!

Beautiful model. I call it a real achievement.

Thanks for the recent comments guys. It's really great to get feedback and see your on the right track. I currently working my way through Eduards series 2 Tempest and it's taking a bit of the mojo (beautiful, beautiful kit but very fiddly, some annoyingly fragile pieces and don't ask about the flap join line). Hopefully normal service will be returned shortly when I get to the painting stage.

Hi Marek, I used Mr Hobby H54 and H56 Navy and Intermediate Blues. If you are careful the semi gloss finish they leave can be decaled without a gloss coat. Just give it a light polish first with some tissue paper or similar. If in any doubt though, gloss it first.
