Accurate Miniature TBM-3 Avenger 1/48th scale. The only addition is the harness. This kit is over 20 years old now. This version was released in 1996. It's painted in Aeromaster acrylic. Markings are from USS Intrepid.
Nice work! Great paint job and that torpedo turned out sharp. I built the Atlantic ASW version back when those kits came out. You're inspiring me to take the other two out of the stash and actually build them.
Julian, I like it !, Its seems to always take an extra level of effort to make a single color airplane looking interest, like you've done here. Well done !
Beautiful aircraft!
Impeccable assembly!
Congratulations!
Thank you Alexandre, glad you like it.
I have this kit in my stash, and I am now thoroughly intimidated. Excellent work.
Hello David, go ahead and make it, it's a really nice kit.
JUlian, this is wonderfully done. I especially like the work in the torpedo bay, but it's excellent!
Hello Jeffry, I think when this kit was released, it really raised the bar the detail was that good.
Nice job on that Julian. I have the kit and the big 32 trumpy one but aint gotten round to them yet.
Thanks Anthony, wow, that must be a big old model when it's completed.
Those AM kits were pretty darn nice (still are) - and this one is proof. Nice build, sir!
Thank you Craig. Top quality kit and as you say, still is.
Nice! Ditto on the torpedo bay. Well done.
Hello Robert, thank you very much.
Outstanding work Julian, very nicely done.
Many thanks Jim.
Well done, a real beauty!
Hi Michel, thank you.
Wow a great looking model. I’ve always liked this class of USN aircraft - nice details everywhere.
Thanks a lot Rob, it's one of my all time favourite aircraft.
Awesome build of an exceptional kit. Fine work.
Many thanks Bob, AM really got it right.
Very nice! You did a great job with the kit.
Hi Greg, thank you, glad you like it.
Nice work! Great paint job and that torpedo turned out sharp. I built the Atlantic ASW version back when those kits came out. You're inspiring me to take the other two out of the stash and actually build them.
Thank you John. I'd be interested to see your ASW version.
You definitely have a thing with Naval aircraft and this one looks great, it's the little details that make the difference. Is this a recent build?
Thank you John. I'd be interested to see your ASW version.
Thank you George. I built this when it was first released.
Julian, I like it !, Its seems to always take an extra level of effort to make a single color airplane looking interest, like you've done here. Well done !
Hi Terry, thank you very much. I think the Aeromaster Acrylic had something to do with that. It was such a great paint.
Terrific job on your Avenger, Julian. The fit and finish look superb.
Thank you Drew. It's a lovely kit to make.
