TBM-3 Avenger, Academy 1/48

[BigZimmo]

Hi all!!!

Here comes my TBM-3 Avenger from Academy. This aircraft was in service on the carrier "USS Bunker Hill".

It's a stunning kit with a lot of details and a really good fit. It was fun to build this model. For this build I used colors from Gunze's "US Navy Set".

The carrier deck comes from Eduard and I used colors from Revell to paint. Pilots and ground crew are from the Navy Personnel-Set from Tamiya.

I fixed the Figures with modeling clay because I want to use the carrier deck again.

Yep, both are reboxes of the Accurate Miniatures kit, I grabbed the Italeri boxing for the FAA markings
