TBM-3 Avenger

This was my Secret Santa from NARSES2.  Kit is typical Hasegawa.  Non-existent detail on the inside, coupled with lovely detail on the outside, plus a flawless fit of parts (makes a pleasant change I can tell you!)

Cockpit is done.  Once the greenhouse is on up top, you won't be able to see anything in the cockpit so I'm not even going to bother weathering it.

Spats and retro colouring?

[Brian da Basher]

Yes! Spats! Just say yes to spats!

Did I mention that I love spats?

P.S. Nice work on the interior, Nev! I'm looking forward to seeing your next update.

Alas gentlemen, my spares box is spatless

Trust me, it will look the best with a T-Tail!

And a turbo prop    

[Captain Canada]

And Canadian markings.....

Nice work so far, Nevster ! Still wondering why we're not going to see anything inside it......

[nev]

And Canadian markings.....

wouldn't be much of a whiff though, eh?

There are many ways to fabricate spats. You can make them out of spare drop tanks if you're so inclined.

This one is gonna be fun to watch, even if it does end out spat-less.

An Avenger with spats/trousers would kinda resemble the Pzl P.46 Sum:


Definitely needs spats.  

Cheers, Jon

[Brian da Basher]

Mmm yes indeed Jon. And thank you for the
AIRPLANE PORN!!!

Nice spats!
