Trumpeter TBM-3

[JohnB]

I considered folding the wings but decided I didn't want to fight that weird wing fold setup. Sure would take up less room though! Big model.

Pretty big alright. Coming along okay.

Looks great John. Hope the masking comes off the turret ok, some of it looks well buried now.

[JohnB]

I don't think it will be a problem. It's Montex vinyl and will usually peel off with no problem (I hope).

Hi John

Always a milestone when the air brush springs into action. I'm guessing the TBM is under one smooth coat of primer. Sure looks good.

Keep 'em comin

I had originally planned to do a 3-color scheme Peter but have since decided on overall GSB. Exactly WHICH a/c I haven't decided yet. Gonna have to be soon though.

John

Just love those GSB finishes. What the paint of choice for one of your classic finishes?

I really like the Testor's Model Master Dark Sea Blue. Alternatively Xtracolor is good also.

John

Up intil getting into lacquers, MM enamels  would have been my choice - their color is spot on. Looking foward to seeing the TBM in her gloss sea blues.

Keep ‘em comin

Since I am unable to come up with a after market AN/APS-4 radar pod in 1/32 I will make my own. I used 2 bombs from my Fischer Sea Fury kit to get started.

Should work out nicely - will be following

Keep 'em comin
