Looking for period of photos of RCN TBM-3


Recommended Posts

Gents,

I have searched on Google for subj pics, and wasn't too successful. There was a website called kevsaviation.blogspot.com but it always timedout when I tried to get on it. Anyone have any pics of these Avengers still in their GSB paint scheme, with the ball turret and in RCN markings?

TIA

Hi Barney, I have his book as well, but I was hoping for more photos, if there were any. I am planning on a 1/32 Avenger project, but thought I would go the less travelled route and do one up in the GSB scheme, since there doesn't appear to be too many models done in that scheme.

Cheers

Brad

The best source of TBM-3E RCN photos is the Leo Pettipas book titled "The Grumman Avenger in the Royal Canadian Navy" originally published in 1988. I think their are re-prints out there available thru the book store @ The Shearwater Aviation Museum. Well worth the price, which really isn't/wasn't that high. I did one in 72nd scale and the book was a great help.

Thanks for the kind words! 32nd scale should be a monster. The 72nd scale turkey is the size of a Beaufighter in the same scale. Can Mil Air decals worked beautifully on mine.Highly recommended!
