Title: Fleet Air Arm Avenger Mk.1/Tarpon I
Post by: trickyrich on February 26, 2015, 03:42:28 PM

Am back at home and thought I’d show off another couple of models from pervious GB’s I’ve done.

This was for a Fleet Air Arm GB a couple of years ago. Using an Accurate Miniatures TBF-1C Avenger and lots and lots of extras to produce an FAA Avenger Mk.I/Tarpon I from the HMAS Victorious around January 1945.

Was a very enjoyable build and I was very happy with the results, and very war weary beast.

Thanks for offer.  Have knitting needles here.  Looks that we should be using them.
