Here it is, just under the wire; one more aircraft finished in November. This is the ancient Airfix TBM Avenger, the first ever Avenger I ever built for my collection. This was gifted to me by two friends who won it in my club's Distressed Kit Auction. I also got a Mk.21 mine and an F-6F Hellcat from Matchbox with the Avenger. This thing gave me quite a fight at times. The turret somehow got frosted; I have no idea how. I polished it as much as possible for hours while waiting for other models to dry. This is the end result. I also had to replace the upper decal on the wing. A good friend from my IPMS club had a spare and gave it to me so I could finish this. Again, as with my Spitfire, all eye-level shots were far too blurry for posting and will have to be re-shot later. Here is the one shot that gives you some idea of how it looks in person: Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome.
