1/48 Grumman Avenger TBF-1C - Pacific Theatre of Operations II

Looking really great Jan, good to see you building.

Yeah, don't get too excited about AM's Jan. At least Terry made that how to, otherwise I'd never have gotten mine in. Looks great Jan!

Where can I find this gem of information. I'd like to print it out and stuff it into my AM Avenger box for future reference.

You won't be disappointed George. It's the kit I used in the first PTO GB, under the Italeri label, and one of the nicest, finely detailed kits I've ever seen.

 

[Lucky13]

I only bought the Hobby Boss one because you can build her with folded, as a kit it's ok, the instructions leaves a lot to wish for....
Might try the A/M version next time....

That is looking damned nice, Jan.

 

[Lucky13]

Cheers Dale!

 

[Lucky13]

A few more things to go, then it'll be time to seal her up...

 

[Rogi]

Nice

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Very complex tail wheel with the gun position facing aft. Is the gun manned or controlled from up front

 

[Airframes]

Nice work old boy.
Vic, the gun is manned, by the radio operator, as required. It's a tight area, where the gunner has to kneel on a cushion behind the gun.

 

[Lucky13]

Cheers lads, appreciated as always!
.....and what Terry just said..

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks again T. I suppose in the heat of battle it would be okay, but imagine being tossed around as the pilot take evasive action or is in a chase. Cauliflower ears, bruised shoulders, bumps on the head, pins and needles in the legs. Hope there'll be someone able to pull him out.

Nice progress Jan.
