KitmodellerNZ Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Hi guys, here's my latest completed build. The RNZAF operated the TBF, not TBM, but with this kit being my only option, I decided to finish it in RNZAF markings regardless. I used custom mixes of Tamiya acrylics for the camo, Montex vinyl masks for all of the markings, watercoloured pencils, oil washes, Ammo enamel washes and AK Interactive pigments for the weathering. I replaced the .50cal with a Master Models brass barrel. Edited February 11, 2018 by KitmodellerNZ KiwiZac, Sammy, TenSeven and 17 others 20
LSP_Kevin Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Wow! That's got to be one of the best Avenger builds I've seen. Fantastic! Kev
Gigant Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Ever since I built the Monogram 1/48th scale kit when it first came out with the wings that folded back, they have been one of my top subjects. Absolutely beautiful work! Good weathering; not overdone. Excellent detail work-looks like a lot of sweat went into that!
Dandiego Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 That's is really nice. Excellent work! Dan
gunpowder Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Gorgeous. Thats a magnificent built of a great kit. Love it
KitmodellerNZ Posted February 11, 2018 Author Posted February 11, 2018 Thanks guys. She was a really enjoyable kit to build. Can't think of any major dramas. Took me just under 4 months to complete. I've just started on a Trumpeter 1/32 A-4F Skyhawk which I'm building to represent an RNZAF A-4K. Need a break from the pacific camo scheme for a while after completing the Tamiya F4U-1A before the Avenger. Would like to build the 1/32 Dauntless in an RNZAF scheme somewhere down the line though.
Gazzas Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Really awesome job! Love the pilot, too! Gaz
Wolf Buddee Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Beautifully done! All that work payed off very well indeed. Cheers, Wolf
hamfists nz Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Are you getting Anthony's 3D printed Kahu cockpit? Must be just days away from first deliveries by now!

Out2gtcha Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Wow, excellent build! Really a wonderfully done model, as the paint and weathering are right up my alley.
