The real subject

The Grumman TBF Avenger was an American three-seat carrier torpedo bomber of the Second World War. More than a thousand of these machines went to the British Fleet Air Arm, where they served under the designation Avenger Mk.I in the Atlantic and in the Pacific. It was a rugged and reliable aircraft with a roomy bomb bay, a defensive turret and folding wings for operation from carrier decks.

Building and painting tips

Finish and paint the cockpit, the engine and the interior of the turret before you close the fuselage. Mask the extensive glazing of the canopy and the turret and spray the framing separately. Decide in advance whether you will build the wings spread or folded. Spray the base coat over a primer; seat the decals on a gloss coat and even out the surface with a matte coat.

Who the model is for

  • For fans of Second World War naval aircraft
  • For collectors of aircraft in 1:48 scale
  • For modelers who will appreciate the folding wings and the detailed engine
  • For lovers of machines in the colors of the British Fleet Air Arm

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
