Hi Jim, That's correct. Microflash it is. It is a beautiful kit, details are cool, improved engineering for a reliable build though with minor issues. the major -minor issue is the unequal plastic thikness between symmetrical pieces (wings and other bits...). Grab one Thanks a lot Dave Definitely ! A nice challenge. grab one too. Cheers guys, Laurent.

Beauty ! I love the livery. Fantastic checkers.

Hello, Slowly but surely... sneak peek... Best, Laurent

Hello, Thanks a lot gents ! Cheers, Laurent.

Impressive Peter... Cheers, Laurent.

Beautiful Mossy Jeroen ! Paintings and weathering are superbly clean. And right on time ...

Hi Gents, Started this wonderful war-bird and great kit, 99% OOB. I hope you will enjoy the -from time to time- posted sneak pictures. Goodies : RB Productions seat-belts. Fittings are great after removing flash. Wings are just wow ; ZM made it all easy for the scratch-build interior details masters... Thanks for checking in ! Cheers Laurent.

Thank you ! Thank you very much ! The scheme is a personal creation and has nothing to do with war or targeting. That's how eventually my own Avenger would look like... Thanks a lot Danny, much appreciated ! Thank you Tom, glad you like it. Thanks for checking in and your feedback ! Cheers Gents ! Laurent.

Beautiful subject, kit and result ! Neat assembling and paint job. Likin' her a lot. Cheers, Laurent.

Oh man ! Very interesting approach. Jigs are great ! Standing by. Cheers, Laurent.

Thanks mate ! Marcel thank you ! Thanks Colin, i love the rusty/oily things Thank you Paul ! Thanks Jeroen ! Indeed, i did not finished yet. A few more days, and the base will be ready ! Cheers, Laurent.

Hi there, Completed Avenger...i say. Now the base, so there might be some extras like bits of pigments here and there, weathering stuff on the plane and the base Thanks for checking in ! Cheers ! Laurent.

Cheers for the feedback gents ! Much appreciated. Thank you Colin Thanks a lot Jeroen ! Yeah had a good time and fun Thank you Rick. Thanks a lot mate ! Yes i do ! Thanks Jonathan Best, Laurent.

Hello, New update. Working on the tail and wings. Thanks for checking in ! Cheers, Laurent.

Hi there, Last update, working on the wings. Started here the second -wing painting stage- here : And moving along on this :

Thank you Ralph Hi Aaron, thanks ! I use the Aluminium and the Polished Aluminium. Thank you Mike !

Hi, First 2 layers of metal paint. Result is raw on the pics but turning well, waiting for further special treatment : Cheers Laurent.

Thanks Ralph. All pleasure is mine. Updates are coming. Very pleased to read that. You guys made my day ! HoOOooowww yeah ! Thanks Thanks Kahunaminor Call that "positive telepathic influence" on the d#mn wallet... Cheers Gents, looking forward ! Laurent.

Thank you gents for the comments. "Pre-shading" (it's more about texturing) done on polished primer. Canvas is almost ready. Thanks for checking in Cheers, Laurent.

Definitely a beautiful model and elegant warbird. Great attention to details and finish. Cheers, Laurent

Thank you very much for the comments gents, highly appreciated ! Thank you Colin ! Kit is indeed from Trumpeter's best batch. Real fun to build, a lot of improvement and presentation possibilities, cut-outs, etc. Eduard masks are definitely a great time saver for the avenger, in particular for the ball turret. Thanks towerpower ! Yes it's my first airplane kit for the last 25(ish) years. Master builder ? Believe me, i'm far from that status. Still so much to learn from our highly skilled fellow modelers ! Thank you GUY5Y, looking forward to seeing your updates ! Cheers ! Laurent

Thanks Jim ! Yes great kit, just a bit frustrating with all the hidden work once the fuse half closed. Main brand for the paints are tamiya and alcladII for the metal finish. Chipping fluids from AK, weathering oils from AK and water based washes from flory. Pigments from Mig.

Hi, Wanted to share my Avenger's WIP on LSM. I chose this particular subject for a GB entry on another forum. A bit shy with sharing since it's the first airplane build for the last 2 decades... In paralel i reworked and tested some techniques on a 1/48 F4U "mule". Will be finished end of june. Hope you're going to like her. Working on the nose art home-made masks and preparing the bird for the fuselage paintings. Bare metal is main guide line. AM : Eduard's masks RB productions seat-belts The "mule", 1/48 Tamiya F4U. Thanks for checking in. Cheers Laurent.

Beautiful Arno ! Mahogany porn... Cheers, Laurent.

Very nice details and painting. Obvious Mosquito Lover ! Cheers, Laurent.
