and the last...

That really is a monster innit?
I love it. Especially the fact that that it's not completely symmetrical ie the canopies, gives it that extra edge.
So what scale? What kit?

Terrific stuff Mark - can see that in RN colours

Only one word for it: Magnificent

Yeah, the wingspan is 12" (35cm).  It is the Heller kit in 1/72 scale, a fairly decent kit but had some warpage problems, nothing I couldn't fix.

Thanks..Mark

I would say the same differently: "Thanks, Mark!"

Thats pretty damn cool  

I was hoping you'd done it with 2 of the Trumpeter 1/32 beasties

Beautiful!

Beauty Mark! It looks so natural.  

Now, for us Canucks, we need to see it outfitted as a forestry plane for spruce budworm control.  

OOOPS! Just saw your other post and you mention the Canadian fire bomber job, close enough!

Incredible: the Twin-Avenger was real, see the photographic double-proof below.
So dear Markm70 was what-ifing rather gently, mainly inventing a Twin-Mustang-like tailplane...

Well, markm70 did whiff it. The real twin TBM didnt have a radar under the center wing.

Thanks to http://aeroweb.brooklyn.cuny.edu/specs/vou...ught/xtbu-1.htm , I may add another Twin-Avenger, the one made by Vought: XTBU-11 of 1941-42.
