US Navy Grumman Avenger TBM-1C

The Grumman Avenger was the British version of the American TBF-1 Avenger and the RAF used these under a lend-lease agreement. However, our latest release is an Avenger that served with the US forces towards the end of WWII in combat with the Japanese in the Pacific. It was classed as a naval aircraft torpedo bomber and our 1:72 scale Grumman is a replica of the bomber flying with 76 Squadron from the aircraft carrier USS Petrof Bay. It comprised a single engine monoplane with capacity for up to a four-man crew.

The livery on this model is quite striking with its midnight blue and dark sea grey two-tone upper side and white underbody. Graphics are in white, including a four leaf clover on the tail fin. The nose art features a provocative and colourful ‘Blopsy’. The Grumman’s offensive armament comprised two forward facing Browning machine guns and a further rear-facing defensive Browning machine gun in the turret. These are faithfully reproduced on our model painted black. Finite details also include the black propellers with their yellow tips, the rust finished exhaust pipes and the silver propeller hub/spinner.
