DONE: 1/72 Hasegawa TBM-1C Avenger CV-16 USS Lexington Group Build

[wingnutz]

hey folks,

here's the third installment of my "Battle of Leyte Gulf" builds, and my first WIP entry in the PTO GB under category 2...it's a 1/72 hasegawa TBF-1C Avenger Torpedo Bomber, VT-19, CV-6 USS Enterprise/CV-9 USS Essex, USN 3rd fleet: Task Force 38;

test fitted and compared the size of this bird with the wildcat, and one can see that this aircraft had a more robust size, indeed a plane designed to deliver some serious ordinance...

this type of aircraft were used in the sinking of the IJN's super battleships "yamato" and "musashi"...
