STM Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 It looks to be coming along very nicely. The size of that model lends itself well to a lot of detailing. Although Trumpeter did not do too bad a job of detailing they still could have done a lot better in my opinion. I will probably build that one after I finish their A-7E. There is a lot of potential there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDave Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I thought the turret needed to be in before fuselage joining. Have you a cunning plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunpowder Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 I thought the turret needed to be in before fuselage joining. Have you a cunning plan? Indeed i do. As long as the rear turtledeck? part is left out behind the turret , it can be manouvered in OK. Finished off the interior today and i thought that i had better get some photos before i add all of the glazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJ Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 This is really impressive stuff! Glad to see you decided to resurrect this build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Looking Very Nice... I really like all the detail your showing on this build. Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunpowder Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 Well its finally finished. These big TBMs have so many fiddly parts it takes forever to get them done. The result is worth it though. I wanted to keep this one clean with minimal weathering. Just for fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Nice build. I was going to comment on the rear canopy thinking it was wrong but a quick look in a ref book and it's right. I learned something today so thanks much!! I though the canopy telescoped like the Dauntless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
