Hasegawa 00984 1/72 TBM-3S2 Avenger J.M.S.D.F. replica

The Hasegawa 1/72 TBM-3S2 Avenger presents a faithful miniature of the J.M.S.D.F. variant, showing the aircrafts practical lines and naval equipment. The kit is crafted to give a realistic small-scale version suitable for enthusiasts who enjoy military maritime subjects.

Role after the conflict and appeal to builders

Converted for anti-submarine patrols and coastal security, the TBM-3S2 proved versatile in peacetime duties. The model is appealing to builders who want to represent postwar naval aviation and explore less common subjects in their display fleet.

Fitment advice and display rewards

Careful assembly and finishing improve the final result: some pieces will need trimming and controlled gluing for tight joins. Finished and weathered appropriately, the model stands out as a compact representation of naval patrol aircraft in a collectors lineup.

What painting approach suits this 1/72 Avenger kit?

Use thin coats of enamel or acrylic with fine masking for the naval scheme. An airbrush gives the smoothest finish, but careful brushwork can also achieve good results on small areas.

Yes, the kit includes detailed cockpit and external components. Modellers who want extra realism often add aftermarket parts or paint enhancements to boost the level of detail.
