SPA Modeler

What brand? Ill sort out the front page.

The only game in town is the Trumpy kit Mike. but Ill be posting pics in the am

All good, you're on the front page.

Cant wait to see whats coming.

1/32 Trumpeter TBF-1C. This is a pretty large kit in its own. I got this idea from some where deep in my shallow mind and thought it would be a welcomed change of pace from me (considering all the starts and never finish kits I have done in the last year.)



This is sort of my way of honoring the guys who you hardly ever hear about.
I dont have any history to write about here but maybe after some research I can come up with something that may be of interest to everybody.

So far all I have are the engine (mostly completed) and the front part of the pit dry fitted.

Nice stuff going on there, Paul. You are almost up to "Fermis Speed". Looks great! You honor the pilots/crew by building these magnificent aircraft. But, if you find anything cool, let us know!

Sweet.

The question is, how are you going to make it 1946?

How much of a modification is required? I thought maybe a night attack/torpedo bomber type of thing, mostly paint.

This kit has so much potential for super detailing it is sort of scary. I just wish I had the patience to do it.
Well most of the innards are done and I figure I have aft compartment and gun turret left to do before I go on to something else. I like the way it is shaping up so far.















You may have seen most of this before but this is pretty involved with a boat load of parts and many more to go.

the bomb bay stantions will be painted at a later time along with the bay door actuators. I will be slinging a torp under as well.
