KMC 1/48 TBF-1 Avenger Update Set

Reviewed by Tom Cleaver

Brand new from KMC is their TBF-1 Avenger update set. Done in cast resin with the usual KMC quality, the set provides everything needed to create the first TBF Avenger with 12 pieces. Included are the starboard-side panel and right forward fuselage/cowling giving the .30 caliber machine gun mount and different cowl flaps. The cockpit interior includes a new floor and all equipment needed to create the second cockpit with seat, which was a major distinguishing factor with this version. A new raduio compartment door has the round window. The instruction sheet is easy to follow. This is an excellent conversion for those Avenger fans who want to make the first "Turkey." KMC recommends using "TBF/TBM Avenger in Detail & Scale" for reference, a recommendation this reviewer agrees with.

My only question is: do I feel undaunted enough to combine this update set with KMC's thoroughly-daunting Avenger wingfold set?
