COMPLETED Trumpeter 1/32 TBF -1C Avenger Torpedo Bomber build with Ezra my grandson

To my fellow Forum members,

WOW!!! I had to unfortunately shut down the B-25J Mitchell build. Missing parts in a major way. No propellers and no middle/rear bulkheads. Plus I had no engines. What else was missing, I swear I had no idea what hellish items would be missing and or doubled. Lol. And at this point, I didn’t want know. I’ll start my next project which will be a Trumpeter 1/32 three man torpedo bomber.

I built this kit either last year or the year before and had such a great time doing so. I’ll have photos to follow as always!

Knowing your skills, you’ll do justice to the"turkey".

If you need, I have pics of the Avenger in the Erickson collection. But none of the office

Thank you for the confidence in both Ezra and myself in building the “Turkey”. Pictures of an Avenger from the Erickson collection would be most appreciated in anyway! Thank you so very much goldhammer!

A very huge fueselage!

Looks like a huge kit

Toshi, I’ve always been a fan of the big Avenger and look forward to watching this and hearing your play-by-play. When my two boys were playing indoor soccer, their team was called the Avengers. Their volunteer coach was a full time police officer in the next county. We built him a 1/72 TBF at the end of the season and his reaction was pure shock and appreciation.

Ah, the Avenger. One of my all time faves for sure. You have my attention. I will be lurking…

Toshi - What pics would be of the most help to you?

The top view especially the turret area.

Thank you. Your friend, Toshi & Ezra

It’s a Monstrocity! Lol!

Your friend, Toshi & Ezra

Me too, that mawright20 is a very cool story!

Your Friend, Toshi & Ezra

hey at least the canopy should be ok to mask …

Wow Toshi!!! you built this kit once already and are willing to tackle it a second time?! Your a Real man! ;>). I have this kit also and I really want to build it. Im not the fastest builder in the world (took me 4 months to build a 1/48 Eduard 109). I think this kit would take me up to a year to build. Your friend learmech

Or real stupid! Lol! And that’s the key, to enjoy and build your kit at the speed that allows you to create the best quality finished product in the end! And your builds are fantastic!

Your Friend, Toshi

Pics on the way. Hoping they might help with details, at least a little.

Thank you goldhammer for helping me with my Avenger build via photos, they are very helpfull!

Your Friend, Toshi & Ezra
