Hobby Boss has released a Grumman TBM-3 Avenger in 1:72 scale
Let’s hope it’s better than Academy’s attempt, it was so bad I boxed it up and put it away on the shelf of doom.

I’ve had Academy’s lying around for years waiting to be built. I think it’s a clone of the olde Frog Avenger.
This looks good from the photos and CAD images. Nice to see the weapon bay open and some options to put in there. Folding wings are another plus. It’ll be interesting to see the actual plastic once it hits the shelves.
I bought Swords early Midway Avenger a couple of months. It’s not a bad looking kit but everything is moulded closed up. Hoping to get that one done next year.
