PRODUCT INFO
The Oxford Diecast Grumman TBM-1C Avenger is a 1:72 scale diecast model aircraft depicting White 83 'Blopsy' of Squadron 76, flown from the USS Petrof Bay in 1945.
About this model
This release moves away from the familiar RAF lend-lease Avenger to represent an aircraft flying with US forces in the Pacific theatre during the closing stages of WW2. The single-engine naval torpedo bomber carried a crew of up to four and operated from the escort carrier USS Petrof Bay.
The model reproduces the midnight blue and dark sea grey upper surfaces against a white underbody, with white squadron graphics including a four leaf clover on the tail fin. The 'Blopsy' nose art is finished in colour, and the model carries black-painted forward Browning machine guns along with a rear-facing turret gun. Black propellers with yellow tips, rust-toned exhaust pipes and a silver propeller hub complete the finish.
