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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1:32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 385mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWingspan: 526mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Parts: 490+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto Etched Parts: One sheet for Aileron \u0026amp; Flap hinges, another for engine ventilation grill \u0026amp; bomb bay doors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Sprues: 17 sprues, clear rotating gun turret, tires\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Trumpeter Scale Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51224928452821,"sku":"TRP2234","price":121.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/trumpeter-scale-models-2234-1-32-grumman-tbm-3-avenger-model-aircraft-kit.jpg?v=1742144260","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/trumpeter-scale-models-2234-1-32-grumman-tbm-3-avenger-model-aircraft-kit","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
