ACY1651   Academy Plastics   1/72 TBF-1 Avenger U.S.A.

TECH NOTES
  This is a 1/72 Plastic TBF-1 Avenger U.S. Navy Torpedo Bomber from Academy
                     Plastics.  It's for ages 10 and up.

     The TBF-1 Avenger was available in sufficient numbers to be present for
the outbreak of WWII despite the fact that it only made its first flight on
August 1, 1941.  The Avenger was especially popular because it could carry a
full size submarine torpedo.  This requires a weapons bay capable of carrying
up to 2,000 pounds of bombs or other weapons.  The Avenger also carried more
defensive armament than many craft.  The Avenger remained in use both during
and after World War II.

FEATURES: Plastic pieces attached to sprues and molded in grey.
          The surface of the plane is decorated with fully engraved panel
            lines and rivet detail.
          Highly detailed cockpit interior includes a pilot and controls.
          At the end of the long windowed cockpit a clear bubble houses a seat
            from which a deadly machine gun may be fired at the enemy.
          Authentic engine assembly with propeller.
          Sports optional position landing gear.
