Manufacturer: Academy (Accurate Miniatures re-pop)
Model: Grumman TBM-3 Avenger Kit Number 12285
Scale: 1:48
Add-ons: Decals from spares

A very nice kit with the exception of the instructions. The turret installation was the only serious problem. DO NOT....as the instruction show (no words) add the turret after the cockpit clear parts....it ain't gonna fit. The model was just about too large to fit on the poster board; I had to do some creative cropping

Looks great. I've always liked the Atlantic camouflage too.
