Nice progress!  I have the 1/48 Hobby Boss Mk I Avenger and I'm finding inspiration in your build to start it!  

 

Thank you for the kind comments.  I hope you do start it, and post the works in a thread.  Thank you for the visit.

Here is the TBF Avenger fueselauge all buttoned up.  There was no issues nor concerns.  Interestingly, this kit  came with a stand.  As you can see, I will be utilizing the stand.

Disregard the above thread please.  It's a double.

As for the fix, the enamel Zinc Green Chromate Gloss acted like a primer as I sanded it down a little.  Now I have the correct flat color on.  I also took the time out to mask the turret.

Looking forward to this. I am not really into Pacific builds, but i reather like this subect and i think this is the only kit in this scale.

And don't worry, we have alldone things like that and worse. Easy fix.

 

I look forward to this build as well Bish.  I've never built a 1/72 TBF Avenger before so this should be fun.  I appolagize for my incoherent seizure, Mrs. Toshi was asleep during this trying time.  I should not be building kits, I should be lying down.  But I never listen to Mrs. Toshi, who ever listens to there signifacant other!  LOL!

Bish, thank you so much for your support in my builds I so greatly appreciate that.  What helps me even more is the fact that we have these wonderful conversations that helps me with cognition.  You are a good and loyal fellow forum brother.  Thank you!

Don't sweat it, I know you got this. I like how you can see the lines on the turrent they really stand out. Looks like a fun build.

 

Thank for your words of confidence.  I had suffered a work related accident and have Traumatic Brain Injury or TBI.  There are days that I'm really good or just out of it.  Just like this Avenger build, completely out of it.    LOL!  I'll probably take a day off to recuperate.  What helps me is the utilization of fine motor skills and hand and eye cordination, when I build a kit.  

Also my biggest therapy and peace of mind is when I get to meet and write to forum members from all over the world.  Being home bound this helps me greatly.  I so appreciate our conversation, this helps me And I so enjoy it!  Thank you sir for everything!

Big mistake!  My new medication is not working.  It makes my mind foggy.  With TBI, this makes it worst.  I have no recollection of doing this.  

Unfortunately, I painted the interior Zinc Chromate Green Gloss.  I can correct this, I'm just really upset with myself.  It's just one of those really bad days for me.  I'll paint over this mess with a flat Zinc Chromate Green or spray this with some clear flat Testors Lacquer in a rattle can.  Sorry about this error on my part forum members, I'll do my best to continue to move forward.

To my fellow forum members,

This is my next project.  A Christmas present from Mrs. Toshi.  It's not a complicated kit but the canopy masking will be interesting at best.  You can see that at the fourth photo.  As always, I'll provide a detailed build and I want to thank you all as my two year anniversary is coming up in March.  Wow, how time flies.  Anyways, thank you for your support throughout my tenure here!

Toshi
