Academy 1/48 TBM-3 USS Bunker Hill Model Kit - Accurate Avenger Reproduction

This Academy kit renders a finely detailed 1/48 TBM-3 representing the Avenger aircraft that operated from the USS Bunker Hill. The parts aim to recreate the wartime silhouette and equipment of the torpedo bomber for scale collectors and aviation modellers.

WWII Role and Authentic Detail

The TBM-3 Avenger was a key asset in naval air operations during World War II, prized for its rugged design and utility. This kit focuses on authentic external shapes and features so finished builds reflect period accuracy for museum style displays or dioramas.

Build Challenge and Display Appeal

With precision-moulded components, this 1/48 scale assembly provides a rewarding challenge for intermediate builders. Attention to panel lines and fittings gives a professional appearance once painted and decaled, making the model a quality display piece in any aviation collection.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
This kit is aimed at hobbyists with some experience; small parts and careful fitment make it more suitable for intermediate to advanced builders rather than complete beginners.
Yes, the kit includes decals to reproduce USS Bunker Hill markings. Modellers can also research alternate markings if they prefer different squadrons or theatre schemes.
Basic modelling tools, fine sandpaper, and precise brushes or an airbrush are recommended. Use scale appropriate enamel or acrylic paints and thin layers for best panel line definition.
