Ah ha! A competitor for the parcel delivery Stuka.
Very good.  You'd certainly see it coming.

Very nice.  That is a lot of work to cover the gunners compartment/turret.  Well done.

[KiwiZac]

That'd do me. Great work!

[Captain Canada]

Great job ! Love the look of her in yellow. Looks good with the canopy covered up as well.

[Modelling_Mushi]

That one looks so right, good work there.

Nice build Bungle  

As an aside, some years ago while I was up in the Grande Prairie Alberta area, I drove past a small airfield along the highway and there was an Avenger there which looked a lot like that, only it was being used as a fire-bomber.

And it was all-over yellow too like this one --- http://www.warbirdregistry.org/avengerregistry/images/avenger-53610-WRG-0002200.jpg

Always good to see a civvy Avenger, I've been digging the water bomber conversions recently.  Great stuff.

Which kit did you use, and how did you go about the canopy fairing?

Which kit did you use, and how did you go about the canopy fairing?

The kit is an old Frogski russian re-pop. You certainly get a lot more plastic with these re-pops one sprue had so much flash it was almost solid !

I used plastic card to build up the sides where the turret dipped into the fuselage then filled it with putty and sanded to shape. I then got a spare canopy from the trash heap that was slightly undersized. Glued it in place then covered it with putty and sanded it until I got bored.

Nice one, I'll keep the canopy trick in mind for if I ever get around to a Fire Bomber conversion.

PS, I put the pics in the Finished Builds folder for you.

I can relate to that, yes.
