Great stuff Tony, and an informative back story. Whereas I measure my productivity on the basis of how many models I build in a year, Tony looks at how many he builds in a day.     :)

 

Cheers,

Bill

An excellent and very distinctive Avenger, especially in that scheme.

Love the panel lines and the subtle weathering all-round.

:clap2::clap2:

I wonder if you have any comments or tips about the Hasegawa kit (as I have one in my stash).

A beautiful model of a post war Avenger and a very interesting story about its use by the RNZAF. 👍 I like the way how you are researching all your projects Tony.

Thanks mate,..... I enjoy the research as much as I do building the model.

Thanks mate,..... no tip really about the Avenger,.... it is a relatively simple kit and fits like a dream. The seating position behind the pilot should only really be there on the early TBF-1 and with Fleet Air Arm aircraft,..... standard TBF-1C bombers had the radio batteries installed here and the navigator/bomn aimer occupied the rear fuselage position behind the turret.

Thank Bill,.... could have sworn I`d answered this already mate,.... sorry! Your models are a work of art mate,..... mine are simply bodge jobs in comparison.

I've never seen one in this scheme before, everyday is a learning! Superb as always and you keep managing to show us the lesser known schemes on your builds :)

 

Thanks Neil,.... you know what I`m like for the more unusual schemes. The thing is.... I`ve now found another two that I want to model too!
