peter havriluk Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Folks, if anyone has a scan of the decal placement on this AM kit, I'd love to get a copy. I have a different version of the kit in the stash, and its decals are severly lacking in the stenciling and lettering. And I bumped into a NOS decal sheet of the subject version which has a whole bunch of those decorations, and seat belts besides. Downside to kit decals is that the kit instructions hold the key to where it all goes. Thanks very much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Kit number? I have 480120 but list it only as TBF/TBM in my database. My kits are spread among three closets and it's no simple thing to just walk up and touch it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peter havriluk Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Regrets on the kit number. Sorry I can't be more helpful; I purchased the loose decal sheet online. I don't own the kit which the decals service, I'm using them to add detail to another AM Avenger that has a sparse decal sheet. Thanks for trying to help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Does the sheet include markings for VT-51? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peter havriluk Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 No idea. I focused on the stenciling and seat belts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 It took me fifteen minutes but I found the kit and was still sealed. The instruction sheet lists it as a TBM-1C. I'll assume the stencils were the same between Grumman and General Motors. I don't have a scanner but I can take photos and text them to you if you'll PM your phone number.

peter havriluk Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 I received the decal layouts from the plans sheet. Looks to me like I have just what I hoped for. I'm very grateful. If I can, someday, I'll try to return the favor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Pay it forward if you please. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jester292 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I just purchased this kit off eBay for $13! My first AM kit. Hope it's good. I've read good things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
