TBM-3 Avenger Bunker Hill

Everything fits brilliantly, once you figure out how it fits. I read these reviews before ordering it. Crude cave drawings is a fair assessment. Once you crack the code, it goes together, it might take an hour or three to fit a piece, but that's the challenge. The details are amazing. It's worth the extra time and effort.

I have built model aircraft for over sixty years. This is the best aircraft kit in 1/48th scale I have ever build, period. Every single part fit together properly, once I figured out how from the strange instructions. I believe that the illustrator was doing has job in another language I had a hard time understanding. There is a support piece for the turret I still haven't figured out how to place it. I spent more time on this kit deciphering the plans. All the time was worth it. the cockpit/fuselage was done extremely well, as were the bomb bay and bottom turret, and landing gear. It was fun and satisfying to do. Not for beginners or those who don't need no instructions.

I'll give it 5 stars for the amazing detail. Truly a very intricate model with tons of fine detail. However the instructions fall short. The instructions seem to relate to crude cave drawings but is you have patients and dry fit pieces into place before cementing you will get through it and don't be afraid to google other peoples builds. But I would definitely build this kit again and recommend it.
