{"product_id":"trumpeter-1-32-tbf-1c-avenger","title":"TR02233 Trumpeter 1\/32 TBF-1C Avenger","description":"The Grumman TBF Avenger was introduced to the US Navy in 1942, as a replacement for the Douglas TBD Devastator. It was a large carrier based aircraft powered by a single Wright R2600-8 engine of 1700hp. Its role is a torpedo bomber, and it has a 3-man crew. The Avenger was distinguished by having a power-operated turret just behind the cockpit. The Avenger had a distinguished wartime record from its disastrous debut at Midway, to bombing raids over Tokyo. The TBF-1C was developed to deal with TBF-1's shortcoming, the .30-calibre cowl gun being deleted in favour of two .50 calibre machine guns mounted in the wings. The other noticeable external change to the TBF-1C was the relocation of the antenna mast a little further aft to the rear of the turnover pylon. Internally, the seat was removed from the second cockpit and replaced with radio equipment. Development of the Avenger continued post-war, with the Fleet Air Arm putting 100 TBM-3Es into service in 1953.:\u003cbr\u003eItem No : 02233\u003cbr\u003eItem Name : TBF-1C AVENGER\u003cbr\u003eBar Code 6.9228E+12\u003cbr\u003eScale : 1:32\u003cbr\u003eItem Type : Static Aircraft\u003cbr\u003eModel Brief : Length: 385mm Wingspan: 526mm\u003cbr\u003eTotal Parts : 489pcs\u003cbr\u003eMetal Parts : Aileron \u0026amp; Flap shaft\u003cbr\u003ePhoto Etched Parts : One sheet for Aileron \u0026amp; Flap hinges, another for engine ventilation grill \u0026amp; bomb bay doors\u003cbr\u003eFilm Parts : Instrument part\u003cbr\u003eResin Parts : n\/a\u003cbr\u003eTotal Sprues : 17pcs sprues plus clear rotating gun turret plus 3 rubber tires\u003cbr\u003ePaint Schemes : VT-2 TBF-1C (95) in June 1944, painted in the tri-color scheme\u003cbr\u003eReleased Date\u003cbr\u003eMore Features Full detail Engine, Workable flaps\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style='white-space:nowrap;\"'\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\"","brand":"Trumpeter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45223495205085,"sku":"TR02233","price":169.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/0708\/0110\/files\/TR02233.png?v=1758068139","url":"https:\/\/ultimatehobbies.com.au\/products\/trumpeter-1-32-tbf-1c-avenger","provider":"Ultimate Hobbies Site","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
