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!

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.

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.

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.
