Wow, thats a nice kit (the accurate TBF in 1/48) This is going to be fun because it will be pushing the envelope of my skills. I will let everyone know what I thing of the kit once its built but from a quick inspection the quality looks amazing. It is my first 1/48 aircraft so maybe I am just not use to the detail since my aircraft have been limited to 1/72.

Hey Drew,
After you get the Avenger finished, you may not want to go back to 72 scale.......

Drew, wanna trade your Avenger for a Testor's F2H-2 Banshee?
No?
Awwwww.....
Could you at least give me the cockpit parts? Hee hee.... :-)

Just kidding there... I'll have my banshee screaming in no time! Today, I used the 'really hot water' method to try and take the warp out of the fuesalage halves. Doh!!! I shoulda taken before and after pictures!!!
FYI, I did a search for other Banshee kits... and found none.

YodaMan - Aieeeeee!!!
