Trumpeter 1/32 TBF-1C Avenger
Avengers flying in the Atlantic Ocean were usually camouflaged in the white and grey that creates a good contrast on models.
This Atlantic Avenger was built using the excellent kit by Trumpeter. It is a design enlargement of the great Accurate Miniatures 1/48th TBF-1 although the surface texture is Trumpeter's. Nonetheless, it has a wing fold option that saves space and emphasizes the poise of the (aircraft) model. Yet, the momentum of backward swept folded wings strains the plastic of the tail unit and gear, not to mention that the wing folding mechanism has to be reinforced. A challenging model it is, but worthwhile the result.
Very nice, Rafi

Another great Rafi project. I know personally that isn't the easiest kit, and you have created a great model.
