Thank you Martin. Something a little bit different than just OOB. 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?

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. :)

Yes its down below. But you wanted clean lines I take it. If you left the starboard side door you could see it.   FYI its on the right just forward of the Door

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.

Thanks! I wish I had known that before I scratched mine. Oh well. :)

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

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.

Real nice John...you are a machine.:notworthy:

cheers.

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............

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.

Looks great, did you use any Eduard on this one?

I am getting ready to start mine and have the Eduard interior set.
