Hi Guys,

I've just picked up the TBM-3 Avenger from Trumpeter, a very nice kit.
Generally I build military vehices, so this kit will be my first plane to build. I've already surfed on the internet looking for some info on the tri-color painting for the late-war TBM-3, and it seems that the Accurate Miniatures instructions is perfect for this one.
My question: Does anyone of you guys posess these instructions and would be so nice to scan them in for me?
I already found some info on the tri-color scheme on Clubhyper.com, but that's in fact for the earlier TBF-1...

Any help on this fact would be very welcome.

Thanks in advance and all of you Happy X-mass,
Beaker

This may help get you started, it's the TBM at Planes of Fame - I won't be able to get out there till after the first of the year - if you'd like me to try and get some pics then let me know - this is a stock photo from the website Oh, yes she does fly

Hugo, I have the very kit in my cupboard, is it just the colour scheme bits you want a scan of?
