USN TBF1C Battle of Leyte Gulf Bomber

This is still one of the best kits in this scale of the Avenger. First issued by Accurate Miniatures in the late 1980's it is still a very good kit. I used my old AM instruction sheet to build it because the color callouts were more accurate and it helped to address some of the vague areas in the Academy instructions. I painted the pilot's cockpit Bronze Green and the rest of the interior Chromate Green. The only thing I didn't use were the kit decals because I wanted to use aftermarket decals. Overall it still fits well for moulds that are almost forty years old.

decent quality kit. a small amount of flash to be removed.

This is a great model of a big airplane. This is a good size model and is straightforward to build. This model does provide a challenge on building the interior. When painting the interior, do plenty of research. The interior is the most challenging of the assembly. The instructions are straightforward but can be a bit confusing when doing the interior. This is still a great kit overall and provides a great challenge for all builders.
