Scratching the pod was easier than I first thought. I thought Harold made the Radar Pod? On a more important note. Great looking TBM John. Did you also build the Radar Scope? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you also build the Radar Scope? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you left the starboard side door you could see it. FYI its on the right just forward of the Door 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1to1scale Posted September 10, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted September 11, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted September 11, 2018 Administrators Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jep1210 Posted March 14, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
