Hasegawa Grumman TBM-1C Avenger
This is the Grumman TBM-1C Avenger flown by a LTJG Rothwell from USS Petrof Bay (CVE 80). The kit is from Hasegawa, decals are from Techmod sheet 72128. No surprises from either the kit or the decals, a very enjoyable build!

Great job, Jeff. Build & finish look super.
Excellent build, Jeff @inchhigh
The tri-color scheme came out beautifully.
Awesome Avenger, Jeff.
Looks much bigger than 1/72 scale. Really shines in the outdoor sun.
Very nicely done. Great work on the wheel wells. (I went to the build article.) And as George said, natural daylight really changes the appearance. In fact I thought you had two different builds here until I compared the markings of the indoor and outdoor photo groups.
A beautiful clean build Jeff! Well done!
Excellent model, Jeff! Easily passing for a bigger scale!
Nice work, Jeff. Great airbrushing.
Well done, Jeff
That looks excellent! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the kind words guys!
I like how you think, Jeff! Great choice of markings!
