US Navy Grumman TBF Avenger 1/72 Academy















Another navy torpedo bomber, Devastator's successor Avenger from Academy kit. I had a spare set of old 80's E.S.C.I. decals for an Avenger, so this is one of those models where you buy the kit for decals and not the usual other way around. This model represents an Avenger two months prior to Midway, 1942, Lt. A.K. Bert Earnest, Torpedo Squadron 8th.

Nice build, good fit, easy paint job, mission accomplished!

Humbrol 96 for Intermediate Navy Blue (?), Revell 371 for White undersides
