Damn Fermis, I need to learn the fine art of the Arizona tea can seat. Looking great as always!! 

 

Also just wondering if you have any pics of the AM Avenger you have done??

"Arizona tea can seats"........here....

/forums/p/129089/1305068.aspx#1305068 

I've done 2 A/M TBFs,

First one was way back in 98-ish, and is the kit that sealed the deal for getting me back into the hobby. Finish was done with rattlecans and some experimenting. It's been through a few moves, so it's seen better days.

 

The second was about 6 or so years ago, before my 2 year "break", so the finish isn't quite up to date with what I can do now!

Both are old....however.......

A few comments:

I love your meatloaf and want to eat it...

I wanna see an intact Arizona Tea can...

...do I detect a wing-fold option on this muttha???

Yes sir, the wings will be folded...just a little bit!

I don't have a whole tea can, here's what I have left though....

Started this, this afternoon. Kit is nicely molded, but forget about relying on the part #s noted in the instructions....many of them are wrong. One review said there's no control stick....it's there, just not mentioned, and there is NO gun for the rear pit....BOOOOO! There are holes in the left fuse sidewall, that appear to be for some detail parts, but there's no detail parts for them....BOOOOOO......easy nuff though, I covered em up some some scratched pieces.

The kit seats seem a bit small, so I used the obligatory bits of tea can aluminum to cobble together some new ones.

I then took a break, for some venison meatloaf!!!!!!

 

Painted up the pit....I used some left over inst. decals to detail the IP, Tamiya tape for the seatbelts.

Wired up the engine with fine copper wire.

Hollowed out exhaust stubs (top)

 

....and got most everything together, so cement can cure for a day or two.
