Scratching the pod was easier than I first thought. Expand I thought Harold made the Radar Pod? On a more important note. Great looking TBM John. Did you also build the Radar Scope? 2

Did you also build the Radar Scope? Expand If Harold does make the pod then I could have saved myself the effort. No, I didn't add the scope. Isn't it down in the rear fuselage for the radio operator? Would be very hard to see so not really worth the effort. 1

If you left the starboard side door you could see it. FYI its on the right just forward of the Door 3
Vandy1 VX-4 Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 John You build a lot of great Models. I just dream it and gather references LOL 2

1to1scale Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 Looks awesome John! FYI, if you build anything else with that radar pod, Lone Star Models has them in 1/32 resin. I ordered 2 of them. one for my PB1J and one as a spare. 1
Guest DannyVM Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 Great looking model John, i'm really impressed mate.

One of Trumpeter's better kits.
DocRob Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 Some great TBM's around here in recent times, and I understand why, a really tempting subject. Yours is looking spot on with nice details in the pit. The paintjob fits perfect and hints little usage. Cheers Rob 1

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted September 11, 2018 Administrators Posted September 11, 2018 That hidey hole in the belly must have been one seriously lonely place to spend time behind one single engine over the open ocean.... Especially without not really being able to see what was going on up top. 1

Expand All I can do is echo this, and add exquisite, the details make this a truly great build, first the seat, that is so close to perfect, then the radio wire connectors, and then the canopy masking....... its all in the details.... I could look at that seat for hours....... you really nailed that............ 1

jep1210 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 I just stumbled on the build thread last night and finished it this morning, which led me here. Looks great, I have the 1C version begging to be built and this thread makes me want to start it even more. 2
recon Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Looks great, did you use any Eduard on this one? I am getting ready to start mine and have the Eduard interior set. Mike 2
