TheXTBF-1, which first flew in August 1940, was a sound machine with a tough airframe, wings with skewed hinges that allowed them to fold alongside the fuselage, an internal bay for torpedo or other ordnance, plenty of fuel, and a powered dorsal turret. Eastern Aircraft was awarded a successive contact, delivering nearly identical models known as TBM in March 1942. Most of the Avengers produced were Eastern's TBM-3 model, noted for it powerful R-2600 engine, strengthened wings for increased gross weights, and reinforcement for carrying a radar scanner or rockets. During the war Eastern developed numerous, special-purpose TBM versions, used for photoreconnaissance, transport, or night reconnaissance with early-warning equipment installed. Other significant models were the 3E, which was the first specialized antisubmarine warfare aircraft to carry modern sensors and to operate from a carrier, and the 3W, which was the first aircraft to carry an early warning radar in service. \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  :  492pcs\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  :  TBM-3, 89, of VC-94 onboard the USS Shamrock Bay, early 1945, painted Glossy Sea Blue overall.\u003cbr\u003e\nMore Features  :  Full detail Engine, Workable flaps.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trumpeter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46657637056768,"sku":"TRP2234","price":107.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/6453\/5552\/files\/trumpeter-132-trumpeter-tbm-3-avenger-aircraft-7577013.jpg?v=1760791089","url":"https:\/\/fusionscalehobbies.com\/products\/trumpeter-1-32-trumpeter-tbm-3-avenger-aircraft","provider":"Fusion Scale Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
