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.

Thank you!!!

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

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

No Eduard stuff Mike. Just the Black Box/Avionics parts.

Love this.  Ive thought about getting this kit so many times and builds like this are the reason why.

One of Trumpeter's better kits.

John, back I come to this and here I stay for awhile, soaking it all in.

One thing. Be very, very careful of that Alclad clear. I’ve used it on occasion, and it never, ever really dries. After 4 years, my Gotha is STILL tacky and will show fingerprints.

On the advice of Brian (Outgtcha) in the other site,  I switched to MM lacquers, and they are absolutely idiot proof, so I’m safe.

I'm glad you like the TBM build Ernie. I've used the Alclad Kleer Flat, Semi-flat and gloss for years and never had a problem. Lucky I guess!

Yup. I 86’d mine last week.
