    TBM-3 Avenger

    1/32 Trumpeter. Excellent kit and satisfying but it was a long build time.
    Not my best work but I enjoyed every minute.

    Hi Barry
    Looks superb to me. One to be proud of. I'm not surprised it was a long build with that amount of detail.

      Barry a great build with some fine detail. The canopy masking is very crisp.

        Barry,
        That's a great build indeed, What is that bar leading down from the back of the starboard wing in the second to last picture?

                  I said 'Wow' at the first picture. It's great and certainly has a big presence about it.

                        George Bush flew a TBF-1 off the same aircraft carrier with 'Barbara' written on it (white on portside) that also was a 'white 2'. I am not aware of him flying this one though althoug it does say Barbara III on the starboard side in yellow. So it is likely.

                          There is a painted on arrow on the side leading to that 'bar' I am not entirely sure what it is to be frank.
