Aenea Wasmer (hellvetier) has built the 1/48 scale Accurate Miniature TBM Avenger. In this article he explains how he achieved such a fantastic finish on his model.

Very nice build. I think you have a contest winner in this one.

Great build, Aenea. I love the weatherbeaten look of the aircraft. I can almost feel this one sitting on a carrier deck at the open seas.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks a lot guys for you charming comments! I really appreciate it. Next will be the Fairy Fulmar which I'll try to paint in the same style I used on the TBM...
