The Avanger is a carrier torpedobomber and waterbomb bomber, it is a big a/c. Hobbyboss has a kit, not so detailed as Accurate Miniatures but with a nice engine and folding wings. Italeri reboxed the Accurate Miniatures kit with a better cockpit and bomb bay than Hobbyboss. Italeri has a excelent decal sheet with lots of different makings and subverions.

The Avenger is certainly and impressive aircraft for a single engine job.

The way it looks here is even 'bulkier' and intimidating.

I have the HB kit and had fun with it, but this looks a whole lot 'bussier' to build.

Wonderful mate . Well done.

I love the AM kit...like I said in the other thread...probably my fav 1/48 kit period. You've done a great job as usual. The HB kit doesn't look like it's a bad one though.

thanks for the comments JimD and RedRoo.

Jim you miss some navy fighters from me? So I have to post more..

Oh I do like the Tarpon with folded wings! Very sharp!

One of my favorite planes. The Tarpon is top notch!

thanks all, think 2 is enough for this big bomber

Very nicely done. Really like the British one.

you know the old Monogram Avenger, tools from 1958....yes this is it with the decals from Italeri
