Nice work Toshi! That really looks like a combat veteran with the applied weathering.

 

Also picked up somewhat an abundance of CREATFX Black Stain, Brown Stain, Grey Stain, and Wood Stain.  It's the natural stain that I like the most.  Thank you for the support and read and reply!

You're never too late for my threads.  It's all good.  Thank you so much for your kind words.  I extremely appreciated!  Thank's for the visit.

Toshi

I missed this one too! It looks terrific and the in flight stance looks great .

To BrandonK,

Yes it's such a cool looking aircraft and is awesome.  Thank you for such kind words.

Toshi

One of my all time fave birds. Nice work, Toshi. Looking good.

Another fantastic job! The canopy masking does indeed look intense, but the finished product makes it worth the effort. You must have needed "Zen patience" for that project. Weathering is excellent. I especially like the prop and cowling weathering. Congrats on another ddcompletion. Dman

 

You know ManCityFan in the end any project big or small is worth the effort only if it's done right.  Zen patience, Jesus concept, In The Now a Hindu concept etc. is a concept or patience needed when doing such projects.  Of course there's the devil on your right shoulder telling you what not to do!  LOL!

Also thank you on your compliment on the weathering especially on the prop and cowlings.  You sir have been a loyal Forum member and better yet a loyal friend and I am ever indebted to you for that.

Well done, Toshi.  Now you need to do the Academy 1/72 SB2C to go with it.  It is a fine kit.

OK, I've stumbled into a parallel universe where Toshi has completed another kit at faster than the speed of light.

I'm amazed at how quickly you do these kits Toshi! It wouldn't be so fantastic were it not for the fact that you do such a nice job on all your kits. Kudos.

 

 

The only reason I do a nice job on my kits is due to the inspiaration i get from you all, thank you for that.

Here is the completed TBF Avenger build.  It was a nice kit.  The only problem I had was the masking of the canopy but I was able to get it done after a second try.  Other than this issue of which was my fault, everything turned out just fine!

Hey Toshi, still amazes me what you guys can do with 1/72 kits!  The masking for the canopy looked intense!  Great work my friend!

Paint job looks great! I noticed that your 1/72 has more of a bent wing then the 1/48 I did.

Nice progress so far. My mom lives about 1.5 miles from where Avengers were built, and the airport I learned to fly at was the airport was the same used to deliver them to the Navy, so the Avenger is special to me. I also volunteered to help restore one when I had a free day. I have the same kit, looking forward to seeing yours done.
