Sean Hadfield
Madison, Wisconsin
Sean beefed up Academy’s 1/72 scale TBF-1 Avenger with a scratchbuilt bay, bay doors, side crew door, and torpedo trolley. The Mk.13 torpedo is made from the shaft of a pen with a taper from a drop tank; styrene fins, tail shroud and propeller; and a masking-tape nose shroud. He dry-brushed exhaust stains and applied a light wash of diluted art acrylics, then wiped it with a T-shirt.
