TBM-3 Avenger
I've built this kit a couple of times when it was issued in the mid 1970's by Lindbergh and the moldings are still quite good with almost no flash or short shots even after 40+ years. In its present boxing it has been erroneously labeled as a Grumman TBF-1 but the presence of two scoops on the lip of the cowl and rockets under the wings indicate an Eastern Aircraft (General Motors Corp) TBM-3 Avenger. The instruction sheet lacks any useful color references or marking guide but that information is easy enough to find. It's a fairly simple model and it has movable flight controls, retractable landing gear, sliding canopy and opening bomb bay doors. A hollow shaft is evidence that you could have motorized the propeller in older versions of this kit. It isn't 100% accurate but I bought it for the nostalgia more than anything and it's a good model for beginning modelers to learn some detailing skills without a bunch of aftermarket stuff or breaking the bank.
