Cliff Notes Version: A pre-decorated canopy makes this kit a joy to build.
Minicraft Models has released a new version of their TBF Avenger!
The TBF/TBM Avenger was the largest single-prop aircraft to operate from an aircraft carrier. Debuting in 1942 and first seeing combat in the Battle of Midway, it eventually replaced the obsolete TBD Devastator. The Avenger served in various capacities into the 1960’s and finished its career as an effective water bomber for forest fire fighting.
