 | DONE: TBF Avenger from VT-8 - Minicraft 1/144 Group Build Hi, Here some pics about my new projet, a TBF Avenger on 1/144 The kit is few simple, with some simple steps it is ready to stand, but I like a lot the Avenger with the wings folded, so I must to make some scratch an build the "little bird" like this, I use a PE saw to cut away the wings and elevator, on interior I make some resin copies to some cockpit interior. Here some pics about the kit and the progress. Thanks to see      The wings and elevator cuted away:     Here he starts to some scratch on the wing folding mechanism.   |

| Great work Lucke. It should be really good with the wings folded, not an easy job in this small scale. Your model is one third the size of mine, and would fit onto one wing of the Italeri 1/48th Avenger! I'm looking forward to seeing your progress mate.

| I'm afraid my fingers would rebel if I tried such a fine scale. Excellent idea!.
