Lindberg 1/48 Avenger.. better kit than I expected.

Nicely done! You did a fine job on the less than stellar kit of the Turkey. Kudos for cutting and folding the wings! 

Yes I taped off the areas to be cut and put a new xacto blade in and carefully scribed into they were cut .

I'm not familiar with the kit but your build of it looks great.

As Stikpusher mentioned very nice touch with the folded wing modification.

Thanks!I thought it was a cool thing to do!

It's always more satisfying when you turn a mutt into a show dog. I like the Atlantic Scheme too!

Thanks it did come out well !

Very well done, Eugene, congrats!

Thanks;people seem to really like it!

Nice finish on that classic kit!  It goes back to the late 50s.

Yes it looks very good.

Thanks ,my expectations when I started this kit were modest to say the least.Good move cutting the wings to allow them to fold.

Even though it's old, that one is on my list.  i just need to find the old instructions for how the stick and pedals are supposed to actuate the control surfaces!  

The stick is present but my kit instructions do not indicate how to attach thread or wires to the control surfaces .

That is not a feature of the kit.

Figured!

Nice build Eugene!  

I have a question for you. I think I already know the answer but I'll ask anyway. How do you get such great work done in such short periods of time. You just finish one and a few days later there is another.

My thought is that you must have a shop full of 6 inch aliens working on the builds around the clock 7 days a week with you standing over them to make sure all the work is done to your specifications. 

All kidding aside, you do awesome work my friend.  Congratulations on another great one. 

Stay Safe.

Well I just finished up the Winnie ,and I was looking in my model room and spotted the Avenger next to the Monogram P-38 and remember how good the kit was so I decided to post .Thanks for the kind words ,I  really like making models a really important part of my life for over 50 years!(I am 58)

I mean, for five bucks, that's a steal.  Even for a Lindberg.  I love to see old birds built up right! 

Minimal price / minimal risk that turned out better than expected!

Looks great. Fine job you did on that old kit. 

Thanks!
