1/72 scale Grumman Avenger TBM-1C model

This 1/72 scale diecast replica depicts the Grumman Avenger TBM-1C marked "White 83, Blopsy, VC-76, Petrof Bay" as flown by the United States Navy in 1945. It is constructed from diecast metal with some plastic parts for durability and a realistic feel. The model features detailed exterior surfaces including realistic panel lines, antennas and access panels. It arrives in the manufacturer's original unopened packaging.

Upgrade from smaller-scale or plastic kits

Collectors moving up from smaller scales or all-plastic kits gain the heft and surface fidelity of metal construction at this scale. The jump is worth it when display presence and accurate panel-line detail matter more than opening features. This model has no openings, so it suits shelf display rather than interactive play.

Suits military-aviation collectors needing

The included stand and true-to-scale detail make it ideal for enthusiasts of World War II naval aviation who want a finished model without assembly. Builders who require opening hatches, movable control surfaces or a larger scale for cockpit detailing should look at other options.

Questions about this item

What size display area do the 6.75-inch length and 9-inch wingspan need?

Allow roughly 7 inches front-to-back and 9 inches side-to-side so the wings clear the shelf edges.

How do I attach the model to the included display stand?

Slide the fuselage onto the stand’s mounting peg; the fit is tight, so press straight down rather than angling the model.

Can I open the canopy or bomb-bay doors on this TBM-1C?

No — the model has no openings; the canopy, bomb bay and all access panels are moulded shut.
