Wow, all I can say is "WOW". So many thanks for the photos and information. I am modifying Charlies' plans in order to model a TBF-1B, an RAF Fleet Air Arm Avenger (Tarpon, Mk. 1). It has a black/white/camo paint scheme from a 711 Naval Sq. The RAF changed the name from Tarpon to Avenger in 1945 I believe. Most notable change is the Oil Cooling Inlets on the front of the cowl and a second seat installed behind the pilot. The TBF-1 only had the top inlet. I did that modification early in this build thread. Keep the great information flowing. I turn away "NOTHING". Thanks. Chic
