Eduard BIG49315 TBF-1C ACADEMY 1/48 – accessory set for plastic model kit

Eduard BIG49315 TBF-1C ACADEMY 1/48 is an exceptionally comprehensive accessory set dedicated to the Grumman TBF-1C Avenger torpedo bomber model in 1/48 scale. The product is designed for precise reproduction of both interior and exterior details of the aircraft. The recommended base model for this set is the Academy kit.

The Grumman TBF-1C Avenger was an American carrier-based torpedo bomber extensively used by the US Navy during World War II, from 1942 onwards. These aircraft took part, among others, in the Battle of Midway, the Pacific campaign, and numerous naval operations. After the war, they also served in the reserves of many countries, such as the United Kingdom and New Zealand.

The set includes as many as five detail-up sets for the TBF-1C model in 1/48 scale:

• EX 819 – precision paint mask for the cockpit and transparent parts
• 481071 – set of photo-etched exterior details
• 481072 – set of movable wing gear doors
• 491232 – richly detailed cockpit interior set
• FE1233 – realistic photo-etched pilot seatbelts made of steel

All components are made from high-quality photo-etched metal and precisely matched to the Academy model. The painting mask is made from flexible foil dedicated to modelers. The set does not include the base model, only accessories designed to enhance and historically replicate the authenticity of the American WWII aircraft model.

Eduard BIG49315 is a product from the "photo-etched accessories for plastic models" category. It is intended mainly for intermediate and advanced modelers. The assembly difficulty is rated 4/5 due to precise fitting and the need to work with very small parts. We highly recommend this set to all aviation modeling enthusiasts who want to achieve a professional final effect and realistic representation of the TBF-1C Avenger in 1/48 scale.
