plastic kit.

if yer gonna build an avenger this little
plastic kit will help ya out a lot with the
interior modelling and exterior proportions
checks. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
it models the entire interior of the TBM-3
and all the exterior proportions and
details are incredibly accurate...
it has all interior colors diagrammed and
exterior camo schemes too (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I am just cutting plasic on my F4U1d....
Always had a warm spot for the avenger. Used to see them as water bombers when I was a kid.

Post by: Citabria on September 20, 2000, 12:08:00 PM: superfly the pics that show the bombardiers compartment on http://www.hyperscale.com/reference/TBM3CC_1.htm (http://www.hyperscale.com/reference/TBM3CC_1.htm)
are probably not to good as they are of what apears to be a modified firefighting avenger thats been a bit stripped out. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

the model is a good reference though (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

the lower 30cal gun port windows on this avenger have also been modified though so that area isn't very accurate for a tbm-3 of ww2 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
