About product

Grumman TBM-3 Avenger 1:48 (Hobby Boss)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American Grumman TBM-3 Avenger carrier torpedo bomber in 1:48 scale from Hobby Boss. The model has a detailed cockpit, canopy glazing, a well detailed engine and the option of folding wings. The large 1:48 format shows off the massive fuselage and the generous set of external and internal ordnance.

The real subject

The TBM-3 Avenger was an American three-seat carrier torpedo bomber of the Second World War. The TBM designation was carried by machines built under license by General Motors, while Grumman designated its own version TBF. The Avenger became famous above all in the fighting in the Pacific, where it attacked Japanese ships with torpedoes and bombs; its dorsal gun turret and roomy bomb bay are characteristic.

Building and painting tips

Separate the parts with a sharp knife and glue them with liquid cement for plastic. First assemble and paint the cockpit and the bomb bay, then close the fuselage; mask the glazing and paint the frames separately. Apply a primer before painting. Assemble the folding wings and the ordnance carefully. For the naval blue-gray camouflage schemes an airbrush and a fine wash in the engraved lines work well.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of American Second World War carrier aircraft
  • Fans of the fighting in the Pacific
  • Modelers who will appreciate the detail of 1:48 scale
  • Those interested in torpedo bombers with folding wings

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