I forgot to crop the photo.  LOL!

Yes, I noticed that many members has extra models waiting to get built, whereas I just do it kit by kit.  Different strokes for different folks.  Thanks Allan for the read and reply!  

P.S.  Besides my dad, you're the first Allan that spells your name with two LL,s.  I'm a Junior so I too spell my name Allan.  Through all my travels I've not met one Allan that spells their name like you and I.

I can see your toes. LOL.

Most of the members have more than their share of stashes. I wont be surprised if most too have more kits than they could possibly build in a lifetime. But thats part of the fun.  Hahaha.

Good luck on this build!

To GMorrison,

Yes, I too not only heard that this kit was great, but every review I've read, glowed with what the reviewer wanting to build this kit themselves.  Thanks for the visit GMorrison!  Missed you there for awhile.

Toshi

no one ever accused Trumpeter of skimping on parts count. Looks like a good build. I hear it's a great kit.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Trumpeter TBF-1C Avenger WIP

Here's another one, to my fellow forum members, I had to stop building my B-17 Flying Fortress earlier this week in which I ran out of some key paints like zinc chromate yellow and a few other much needed items to restock my inventory. So I've noticed every other member has a stash/stored model kit in their collection. I find this extremely interesting. Hence my pre-purchase of the Trumpeter Avenger model kit.

I thought this model kit would be much smaller although it's a 1:32 it feels like it's in the single digit range. WOW! The kit has a total of 392 gray parts, 31 clear parts, 10 black vinyl parts, 3 rubber tires, and finally 2 frets for the exterior and the interior of the aforementioned aircraft, the TBF-1C Avenger. Let's not exclude the 28 pages of the assembly manual with 59 steps! The box alone was a generous 6" tall and 18" long. It's somewhat of a monstrosity! At least in my eyes, and it starts with the assembling of the engine first. The kit is huge with detail. As always, I will photograph each step one at a time. Thank you, Toshi
