About product

Grumman TBM-3 Avenger (1:72, Hobby Boss)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American carrier torpedo bomber Grumman TBM-3 Avenger in 1:72 scale from Hobby Boss. The model offers the option of folded wings, and photo-etched parts and variants of underwing stores are in the boxing. Check the particular contents of the boxing and the decal options against the manufacturer's part number for this item.

The real subject

The Avenger was a rugged carrier torpedo bomber of the US Navy that became one of the most successful machines of its category in the Pacific. The TBM designation means that it was license production of the original Grumman design at the Eastern Aircraft division of General Motors. The TBM-3 version was the last mass-production modification, introduced in 1944. A crew of three, an internal bomb bay for a torpedo or bombs and a dorsal turret were among its characteristic features; the machine was powered by a powerful radial engine.

Building and painting tips

Cut the parts off the sprues and glue the joints with liquid modeling cement for plastic. Bond the photo-etched parts with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Paint the cockpit interior and the turret before closing the fuselage. Decide on folded or spread wings before gluing. Naval aircraft wore a three-color blue-gray camouflage - after the gloss clear coat and the decals, pick the panel lines out with a wash and add subtle wear.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of American carrier aircraft of the Second World War
  • Anyone interested in torpedo bombers and the fighting in the Pacific
  • Modelers who will appreciate photo-etched parts and the option of folded wings

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