i just picked up the accurate miniatures 1/48 TBM-1C Avenger from flight 19 that was lost in the Bermuda Triangle. Any info on how the builds gonna be? So far it looks like its molded great, with no flash, but any info on how it fits would be great. Thanks and i’ll get pics up as soon as i can.

That kit will build up beautifully! Some things can be a little confusing but not too hard to figure out. And the instruction sheet isnt as informative as could be. I havent built one of these in a while but I remember it being a fun build with a lot of details, I think you’ll enjoy it.
75th, AM kits are a dream to build. I will the instructions seem a little confusing at first but can be nfigured out with ease. I two in my stash TBM-3 and F2G Corsair (Navy and Marine markings). Detail is incredible on these kits.

One of the best injection-moulded aircraft kits ever produced. I have two in the stash. Be sure to read, and pay attention to, the instructions, and test-fit everything, especially the turret. With a little modification, it is possible to add the turret after main assembly, which eases things considerably.
Take your time, to appreciate the sheer quality of the product.
Cheers,
Chris.
Thanks alot, i just got done priming the fuselage inside and the cockpit detail when i get started painting i’ll post some pics, I’ve been wanting to build this kit for a while, i built the Accurate Mini F4u corsair racer but it was my 1st attempt at PE and resin parts and i messed it up big time, but that kitr had a insert with the advertisment for this kit, and i’ve wanted to do it since then.

Jason,
Like Chris said, the Accurate Miniatures Avenger is about as good as it gets as far as fit, detail, and quality…it doesn’t get any better, mate.
Accurate Miniatures has an extensive Avenger online build series on their website that you should have a look at…it’s really quite helpful…have a look at:

Good luck, Brother!
Yall weren’t kidding when you said the instructions were complicated, they are not really indepth are they? They are as basic as they could be! Thanks for the website on the build thats gonna be alot of help while building this kit.

Jason I have never built the TBM but I have built 3 of the Allison Mustangs and they are beautiful. I have another in the stash and also the Il-2 with skis. John
