DESCRIPTION:

The TBM-3 Avenger was the "Iron Works" brute of the Pacific carrier war. As the primary torpedo bomber of the US Navy, it was instrumental in the sinking of the Japanese super-battleships Musashi and Yamato. This 1/32 scale kit from Trumpeter captures the massive presence of the "Turkey" (as its crews called it) with an incredible level of detail.

This "Super Kit" consists of 492 parts and features a finished wingspan of over 20 inches ($526\text{ mm}$). It is a true multi-media project designed for the advanced modeler:

• Folding Wings: Can be built in the flight position or folded back for carrier-deck storage (perfect for saving shelf space!).

• Full Interior Detail: Includes a complete cockpit, radio operator's station, and the iconic rotating power turret.

• Engine & Weaponry: Features a highly detailed Wright R-2600 engine and a full internal bomb bay that can be displayed open with a torpedo or 500lb bombs.

• Premium Materials: Includes white metal landing gear struts (essential for a kit this heavy), photo-etched brass details, and authentic rubber tires.

• Historical Markings: Includes decals for VT-51 (USS San Jacinto)—the unit of future President George H.W. Bush—and VC-94 (USS Shamrock Bay).
