Kit Contents:
Detailed assembly guide with historical description and painting schemes.
High-quality plastic sprues containing all necessary parts for building the model.
Decal sheet for reproducing historical markings and details.
Clear parts for recreating cockpit glazing and other details.
Assembly and Painting Process:
Model assembly requires precise cutting of parts from the sprues, fitting them, and cementing them according to the included assembly guide. The plastic parts are designed to ensure the best possible fit, minimizing the need for filling. After assembly, the model should be painted with model paints. The recommended painting scheme, along with appropriate paint colors, is detailed in the assembly guide. Many elements require painting before their final cementing, which ensures better access and precision.
After painting is complete, apply the included decals to the model. The precise markings on the decal sheet allow for a faithful reproduction of historical examples of the Grumman TBM-3U Avenger aircraft.
Essential Accessories (not included):
Plastic cement (e.g., polystyrene type).
Model paints (acrylic, enamel, or lacquer, according to preference).
Basic modeling tools: sprue cutters, hobby knife, file or sandpaper for edge finishing.
Paintbrush for detail painting or airbrush for larger areas.
Compatibility:
This kit is compatible with standard modeling accessories, such as putties, primers, clear coats, as well as dedicated aftermarket detailing sets (e.g., photo-etched parts, resin wheels, vacuform canopies) available separately. This allows for further enhancement and customization of the model according to the modeler's individual needs.
