A.M. TBM-3E CONVERSION TO CANADIAN AS 3

by Chuck Horner on February 11, 2025 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This is the third of three Avenger postings. After the end of WWII, the Avenger was quickly phased out of its primary role as carrier torpedo/bomber, but it found many secondary jobs. The US Navy converted some to the anti-submarine role, [...]

Accurate Miniatures TBM-3D (Night Intruder)

by Chuck Horner on February 5, 2025 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

This is my second of three Avenger posts. The TBM variants of the Avenger were manufactured by the Eastern Division of General Motors during WWII. One of the external differences from the TBF (built by Grumman) was that the TBM had a [...]

A kit that never fails to deliver the authentic look of the iconic aircraft.

1/72 TBM-1.

by John Healy on October 16, 2023 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

The U-boat war continues in 1/72. I picked up this Hasegawa kit for $6 at a show last year and just got around to building it. I figured my Airfix Wildcat needed a partner. This is actually the second Atlantic TBM that I’ve ever [...]

Flight 19 TBM-3

by Dan DeSilva on September 14, 2023 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

Hi all, Had these photos ready for quite some time, but never seemed to have a moment to post this past summer. Hurricane Lee has provided me two days (while I have power and internet) to finally post this. I have FINALLY built my 1/48 [...]

by David Odenwald on August 19, 2023 · in Uncategorized · 4 ≡

I found the above photo on Pinterest Japan. It states that White 5 is a TBF-1 Avenger of VT-4 overflying USS Ranger on 9 September 1943. Starfighter Decals has a sheet for Operation Leader in 1/72 scale with markings for White 4 as TBM-1 [...]

1:48 Scale, Accurate Miniatures TBM-3 "Avenger"

by Frederick J Seitz III on November 21, 2022 · in Uncategorized · 13 ≡

Calling this one DONE! One of my favorite kits to build, (I've built three...). The kit overall suffers from a wee bit of over engineering, (As in you won't see most of what's in the fuselage...). The fit and level of detail is very well [...]

Trumpeter 1/32 TBM-3 VMTB-132 USS Cape Gloucester Okinawa 1945

by Mark Krumrey on July 13, 2022 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

I became a big fan of the Avenger after seeing the movie: "On a Wing and Prayer" with Don Ameche, Dana Andrews, Richard Jaeckle and others. The movie was filmed aboard the USS Yorktown CV-10 during it's shakedown cruise in about [...]

Accurate Miniatures 1/48 TBM Avenger

by Jordyn Collier on February 25, 2021 · in Aviation · 54 ≡

This Avenger was one of the absolute best model kits I've ever had the pleasure to put together, all thanks to Jay Mitchell. He sent me this model a while back in an effort to clean out his stash, and I took every opportunity to try new [...]
