TBM-3 Avenger

The Accurate Miniatures TBM-3 Avenger is currently my main project. This is one hell of a kit. I’m still tooling around the interior at the time. I’m using squadrons walk around as reference but could use a little more depth in the cockpit and interior. This is one of the more detailed kits I have attempted and have only one other 1/48 scale under my belt (I’ve seemed to be stuck on 1/72) If anyone has some suggestions or good links I’d sure appreciate them.

thanks to all,

These are good walkarounds from the aircraft resource center.

Hope this helps.

Pingtang,
Great photos on the web sites you listed. I’m getting ready to start Accurate Miniature’s TBM-1C, the George H.W. Bush Avenger and these photos will help a lot.

I’m not sure if you would be interested in this or already know this, but on their website they have online builds. Here is the link for the avenger…
