Hobby Boss 1/72 TBM-3 Avenger

This is a new tooled kit from Hobby Boss, however, it’s their 1/48 kit scaled down, so the build is the same. It’s fiddly in areas due to the scale, overall a pretty good kit but you only get a one piece canopy. I think they should have provided a multi-part canopy as well.

Great job on the Avenger. You nailed the tri-color scheme.

Grant, that Avenger looks fantastic! Your weathering is “Top Shelf” with the panel lines and washes you’ve applied. I still have the Trumpeter 1/32 kit in my stash, perhaps it’s time to break her out. I’ve always wanted to do one in President Bush’s markings.

Nice lookin Turkey you’ve got there and I like the subtle weathering/paint modulation.
I have their 1/48th offering and didn’t realize that the wings could be folded.
Goes to show how well I paid attention when looking at it haha
Thanks for sharing!

Grant, another great looking bird. You do some amazing work.

Anyone else see these amazing models and start itching to pull one out of their stash to start building? Is that just me? At this rate, I’ll need a new set of shelves for all the built kits and more models for my stash. I’m going to need a second job to pay for all this.
