1/72 Academy TBF-1 Avenger Heavy Hitters Group Build

[Maglar]

The fiddle bits remaining for the avenger. Now to wait for the new blue in the mail, the kit should be on pause. I plan to rework the whole paint job, as I had some bad masks which caused little splatters where I didnt want them. The engine was given a burnt umber oil wash for some sludge (its still wet in the pic).

Damn! the front ends looking the goods mate!

Looking back at the first pic I saw some chunky material and some prevailing seams on the right landing gear.. cleaned that up just now.

Just messed around with the oil paints to have a satisfactory taste of what can be accomplished.. dont mind the dirty surface, its not in the paint.. I just didnt feel like cleaning the crap off. Left wing is bare, and the right wing is where I tried some white and dark blue washes for a fade effect. Though i'd probably build it up this is just the start. Might as well practice while I wait for the new blue..

Getting closer, too bad about the blue, but like Daniel said, the front end looks good Cory...

 

[A4K]

Yep, looking good mate!

 

[Maglar]

Thanks boys.. still waiting for the new blue to come. Then rework the whole paint job, new masks and everything. No biggie after dealing with the Lib, seems a bit easy!

Update???

 

[Maglar]

Might not make it Capt.. Sam's got all my free time at the moment. Could have a shot with the extension though.
