Gigant Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Excellent job, especially with your accent-work on the panel lines and exhaust staining not being overdone! Having a built one in my collection, I know what you went through many would classify it as a "PITA" build: Their "no-illustration instructions". "Over-engineering" the cockpit interior so the panels all being too wide to simply fit into the fuselage interior require extensive sanding and filing. And then the gyrations you go through to fit the gun turret... Congratulations! cnq 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnq Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Thanks Gigant. You know all the pain of this build I'm happy that it came out ok. If you look closely there is a gunner in the ball (gun turret). Gigant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigant Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I would think a "smart cookie" think about marketing their figures separately like ICM does in their figure sets. I reworked a seated spare pilot's masked face with that from a ground crewman to create a helmeted pilot figure with no face-mask for my Italeri A1-H Skyraider. I still think they are the best in any scale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aircommando130 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Nice Avenger! Paint and weathering go really well with the weathered blue flight deck. I have that Avenger kit as well. Want to build mine as a Flight 19 airplane. Cheers....Ron cnq 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerhard Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I like that a lot. If I make one critique, maybe make the bombs a matt black. cnq 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryWilliams Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Beautiful work - excellent camo work. I will be starting my 1/32 Trumpeter Avenger in a few days, hope mine turns out as well. cnq 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its anything like their Hellcat, that I dumped in the bin, I would rather go for a live root canal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryWilliams Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I dont bother with those hinges, I will just cement the control surfaces into place. I have done that with all such builds and only attach these in so much as they might be visible. Most are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
