AC132 Grumman Avenger White 83 Blopsy Composite Sqn.76 USS Petrof Bay 1945
The Grumman Avenger was the British version of the American TBF-1 Avenger and the RAF used these under a lend-lease agreement. Â However, our latest release is an Avenger that served with the US forces towards the end of WWII in combat with the Japanese in the Pacific. It was classed as a naval aircraft torpedo bomber and our 1:72 scale Grumman is a replica of the bomber flying with 76 Squadron from the aircraft carrier USS Petrof Bay. It comprised a single engine monoplane with capacity for up to a four-man crew.
The livery on this model is quite striking with its midnight blue and dark sea grey two-tone upper side and white underbody. Â Graphics are in white, including a four leaf clover on the tail fin. The nose art features a provocative and colourful âBlopsyâ. The Grummanâs offensive armament comprised two forward facing Browning machine guns and a further rear-facing defensive Browning machine gun in the turret. Â These are faithfully reproduced on our model painted black. Â Finite details also include the black propellers with their yellow tips, the rust finished exhaust pipes and the silver propeller hub/spinner.
