It was a large carrier based aircraft powered by a single Wright R2600-8 engine of 1700hp. Its role is a torpedo bomber, and it has a 3-man crew. The Avenger was distinguished by having a power-operated turret just behind the cockpit. The Avenger had a distinguished wartime record from its disastrous debut at Midway, to bombing raids over Tokyo. The TBF-1C was developed to deal with TBF-1’s shortcoming, the .30-calibre cowl gun being deleted in favour of two .50 calibre machine guns mounted in the wings. The other noticeable external change to the TBF-1C was the relocation of the antenna mast a little further aft to the rear of the turnover pylon. Internally, the seat was removed from the second cockpit and replaced with radio equipment. Development of the Avenger continued post-war, with the Fleet Air Arm putting 100 TBM-3Es into service in 1953. \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\nKit Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eScale  :  1:32\u003cbr\u003e\nItem Type  :  Static Aircraft\u003cbr\u003e\nModel Brief  :  Length: 385mm Wingspan: 526mm\u003cbr\u003e\nTotal Parts  :  489pcs\u003cbr\u003e\nMetal Parts  :  Aileron \u0026amp; Flap shaft\u003cbr\u003e\nPhoto Etched Parts  :  One sheet for Aileron \u0026amp; Flap hinges, another for engine ventilation grill \u0026amp; bomb bay doors\u003cbr\u003e\nFilm Parts  :  Instrument part\u003cbr\u003e\nTotal Sprues  :  17pcs sprues plus clear rotating gun turret plus 3 rubber tires\u003cbr\u003e\nPaint Schemes  :  VT-2 TBF-1C (95) in June 1944, painted in the tri-color scheme\u003cbr\u003e\nMore Features  :  Full detail Engine, Workable flaps\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trumpeter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46657640366336,"sku":"TRP2233","price":107.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/6453\/5552\/files\/trumpeter-132-trumpeter-tbf1c-avenger-aircraft-9743031.jpg?v=1760791012","url":"https:\/\/fusionscalehobbies.com\/products\/trumpeter-1-32-trumpeter-tbf1c-avenger-aircraft","provider":"Fusion Scale Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
