Description

The Kit Build series from Kagero focuses on model builds of a specific type of aircraft and gives several examples. In this case, the focus is the Grumman TBF Avenger – American three-seater torpedo-bomber, single-engine, metal structure, designed for the US Navy to replace the TBD Devastator. The Avengers became the standard US torpedo plane during the Pacific War. From then on, they participated in this role in all air-sea battles and landing operations in the Pacific, until the sinking of the Japanese battleship “Yamato” and the end of the war. Also included at the end are three colour profiles of the Avenger and a book sized poster of the Avenger for framing.  The book is very instructional in detailing how aftermarket was used, the painting and especially the weathering were done as well.
