Trumpeter 1/32 TBM-3E

[joeg]

This is my Trumpeter TBM-3 built as a TBM-3E with some minor modifications to the kit including the revised location of the tailhook and the deletion of the stinger lower fuselage gun-position. Furthermore the radome was built from scratch and interior detail added, but here I have to admit I had expected that more could be seen through the canopy but this was a wrong assumption.

Though this colour scheme is more common with TBM-3U´s there is one picture showing a -3E that still has its gun-turret and is serving with VX-1 right after the war being stationed at NAS Boca Chica in the Florida Keys.

Nice TBM, welcome to LSM and thanks for sharing that beautiful Avenger. I really like the colour scheme and the finish.
One of these days I have to get me one too, since I was tempted at least a dozen times

Cheers Rob
