G'day Folk's,

This 48 Accurate Miniatures TBF 1c has a Verlinden resin Engine set yet to be fitted, but the pix below show what remains of the model kit assembly.
Firstly;- I painted the white area using Boyds White Primmer, when dry I masked the area's that are white and applied Humbrol # 33 flat black to the remaining area's.

I painted this bird in the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm colours from the Xtra Colour range of enamel paints, in RAF Sky for the undersurfaces, Dark Sea Grey / Slate Grey for the upper cammo surfaces, these colours are applied free hand to the model, the main wings and tailplanes are not as yet fixed to the model, [they are placed on the fuselage to give the appearence of the cammo and invasion stripes for the assembly of this bird].

Apart from the Verlinden resin I have added a set of my Scale Magic Wing Flaps but the rest is as per the kit.

Sorry for the pix being a little dark:

Hi Robert

Looking good, got a couple of those kits in my stash. What are you planing of putting in the bombay?

Hi Robert!

I haven't this kit in my stash! But your build reminds me I have to get one! Great idea with the strips scheme! Looks very original on an Avenger!

The kit seems to just have been "Futured"? Looks like it's still wet!

Thanks for sharing and keep posting some pics!

I like that very much. I think what makes it really interesting is that it isnt in the obligatory U.S. Navy colors, its in British markings and colors for a change. Excellant job!

Just seen your avenger looking good.I just got the ITALIERI kit and am looking forward to building it as itis the ACCURATE kit re boxed.The beauty of this release is that it is about half the price of the accurate one.
