This is a Carrier onboard delivery aircraft, they were used to bring people, parts , mail and such out to the aircraft carriers.This will be the first Avenger that I ever built and the second Sword kit, wish me luck.

Great choice Robert, not many know that some form of the Avenger did operate in the Korean War albeit as a COD. Didn't know one was available in any scale of the Avenger in this really rare variant. Love it.

That'll be a new version to me. Strapped in and looking forward to the ride Robert (@roofrat).

This is an excellent choice and a welcome addition to our ever growing Korean War group build. I have some good reference photos of various Avengers, and should you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask. If I can help you in any way please let me know.

I'll be watching this one for sure. I have never built a Sword kit, so I don't know what you can expect. Hopefully it will not be too bad... I like what you have done so far. It looks good !

My Dad told me a few stories about how these, (and occasionally a Skyraider) could be used to carry up to 7 or 8 people out at one time...

Thanks Louis, I've done one other Sword kit a F9F-8Twoger, there tend to be fit problems. Hope fully it won't be to bad with this one. @lgardner.
Doug, excellent photos thanks! @eydugstr

Some progress of late, got the fuselage together, had to glue one area at a time, because of bad fit and lack of locating pins. Ready for prime and paint.

Going well Robert, a bit late with this but for future reference my solution is some tabs on one half !
