Grumman TBF-1 RNZAF 2503

Bernhard Schrock
Wird es diese welche jenige sein (oben alu)? 🙂

Hanno Kleinecke
Jo, aber ich glaube eher die 03, die war noch etwas bunter. Siehe Bild No.5 🙂
Maschin' fertig !
Engine ready for painting.

Spanjaard
that engines looks simply awesome, what a detail.... i am certainly in!

Ulf Petersen
Promising project, Hanno, I'm in!🙂

Bernhard Schrock
Moin Moin Hanno,
der Cyclone sieht seeeehr vielversprechend aus!!! Hab zuerst gestaunt als ich gesehen habe, dass Du die Ansaugrohre bei beiden Sternen unterschiedlich gemacht hast... Wieder etwas dazugelernt; tatsächtlich, im Gegensatz zu dem 2800er Arbeitspferd von P&W ist es mal die rechte und mal die linke Seite. Vermutlich hast Du dieses Foto verwendet?

Ich vermute, dass Du hinsichtlich der Detailierung noch nicht die Fahnenstange erreicht hast. Wenn ja wäre es schade, dass dieses Schmankerl unter der Haube verschwindet. Daher der folgende Vorschlag: mach mal zwei Panele auf einer Seite auf oder abhehmbar (siehe Foto 2 in meinem TBF/TBM album). Auf eine Seite, um die Silhouette der Maschine enicht zu „stören". Es ist nicht viel Orbeeid und das kriegst Du gut hin.
Grüsse YW

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you James ! That is one thing I really like at Scalemates, bringing modelers and their knowledge from all over the globe together in their livingrooms 🙂 . So you probably saw the 2504 at the RNZAF Museum at Christchurch ?
Quote MOTAT Aircraft Collection :
" NZ2504 – RNZAF Museum, Christchurch, was located as gate guardian at Te Rapa. This aircraft was restored to taxiable condition by a group of volunteers. Unfortunately the engine broke a conrod in 1981 and has been on static display only since then."

@ Bernhard : Danke fürs Cyclonenlob ! 🙂 Das Bild wars und die sonst etwas dürftige Bauanleitung von Verlinden - die ist in dem Punkt korrekt.

Hanno Kleinecke
Cyclone painting finished

Christian Ristits
Cool project, I will take a seat!

Christian Bruer
Nice Cyclone 👍

Thomas Bischoff
I'll join the party! Very nice work so far

Hanno Kleinecke
Thanks mates ! Fuselage halves joined.

Hanno Kleinecke
Slowly working my way..... Turret opening closed.

Bernhard Schrock
Looking more and more like an Avenger🙂

Hanno Kleinecke
Today I was finally able to return to the modeling table. Added some tubing and door attachments to the landing gear

Bernhard Schrock
Welcome at the bench again Hanno!!
Sieht gut aus. Vergiss aber die Schleife nicht wegen Federweg. [img1]

Hanno Kleinecke
Versprochen 🙂, danke Dir !

Spanjaard
happy modelling Hanno

Hanno Kleinecke
Thx mate !

Stephan Ryll
Very nice start Hanno 👍

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you Christian ! Gearstruts ready for some paint

Hanno Kleinecke
At last I found the time to deal with the black stripes on the lower half of the wings and fuselage.
Some minor flaws still to be deleted, but overall I' quite pleased with how it turned out so far.
Next is the upper half turning silver.......

David Thor
Sieht klasse aus!

Choppa Nutta
........Really superb detailing !!
this build should give Mr Schrock a run for his money ! 😄

Jens
Moin Hanno, da wäre mir doch fast ein Lerkerchen entgangen 👍 Das Farbkeid finde ich genau so interessant wie die Details am Modell selbst, der Motor ist ja mal ein Modell für sich 👍. Frage am Rande, sind die Faltflaechen ,besser die Mechanik dafür selbst gebaut oder vom Zubehörmarkt ???

Hanno Kleinecke
Thx David ! Choppa, yep, being an apprentice really pays off 🙂😉 , thanks !
Jens vielen Dank für Dein Lob ! Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich Dich richtig verstehe; meinst Du die Scharniere für das Höhenruder oder tust Du mir die Ehre an und verwechselst die Fotos vom Original mit meinem Modell ? Meine Flächen sind nicht geklappt, daher der Mechanismus nicht sichbar, die Scharniere fürs Ruder sind Eigenbau nach Bernhards Rezept 🙂 Das was von der Mechanik zu sehen ist ( Bild No.21 u.22)
ist Bausatzstandard.

Erik Leijdens
Excellent work Hanno. That engine is looking great. Wonderful colour scheme you have planned too.

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you Erik !
Silver's on, slowly getting there.....

Jens
Sorry kein Englisch ohne PC Google translate war die Rettung :-D , seid 25. April nur Tablet, nächste Woche hat die Durststrecke dann ein Ende und nie !!! Nie wieder Acer oder ein Fertigprodukt. Aber zum Modell , ich meinte die Tragflächen, da würde ich mich ja noch rann wagen, am. Leitwerk scheitere ich ja schon beim Gedanken :-D für die Helldiver hatte ich einen Resinsatz bekommen, nun war meine Hoffnung das man das auch für die Avenger haben könnte. Was du und Bernhard so zaubern, bringt mich immer wieder in Welten die mir kaum näher kommen, als eure Bilder in den Bauberichten 🙂

Bernhard Schrock
I'm deeeeepest enthusiastic! An excellent painting result. I'm curios to see the completed model.

Hanno Kleinecke
@Jens: Helldiver ? Klingt seehr vielversprechend,bin sehr gespannt ! Keine Ahnung ob es da für die Avenger auch was gibt.
Thank you Bernhard !

Martien Lourens
Very detailed work. Excellent

Christian Bruer
Very nice paintwork so far Hanno. The yellow / black fuselage band is well done!
Looking forward to the next steps🙂

Cheers, Christian

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you, Mart, Christian and James ! Today I ordered decals from Ventura in New Zealand.
I wonder how long it will take them to arrive in Hamburg. Hopefully, the don't get stuck at the customs....
Rudder's gone red, anti glare panel and walkways on, masks off. Completion is nearing..... 🙂

Maarten Kruizenga
awesome, love it

Hanno Kleinecke
Thanks Maarten !
Landing gear finished...

Clifford Keesler
I agree awesome job. Beautiful aircraft.

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you Clifford !

Stephan Ryll
loooooookin awsome! 👍 realy nice

Torben
Awesome work, Hanno! 👍 This is a truly inspiring paint scheme.

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you Stehan and Thorben !
Almost there, only some minor things to add. Waiting for the decals to arrive....

Christian Bruer
I agree with Torben 👍

Dan Cook
Very nice. I have one sitting in the stash, waiting would love to build but scared to get it wrong. Lovely work and I like the different scheme

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you Christian and Dan ! 🙂

Hanno Kleinecke
Completed ! The Ventura decals are nice and thin, but unfortunately not completely offset-free. A slight white outline especially on the roundels, were it is very difficult to cut it away without ruining the circular shape.

Alec K
Very nicely done Hanno, and very interesting livery 👍 The detailing is superb as well.

Christian Bruer
Excellent work and finish Hanno 👍

David Thor
Great finish!

Choppa Nutta
Great finish!

Stephan Ryll
A marvelous build and finish Hanno 👍

Jens
Would not have thought Since the hobby boss seems so coherent, your work is again made extra-class, the painting appears fully compelling 👍 👍 👍

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you all for your kind words mates, I'm glad you like my parrot bird ! 🙂

Eelco Gregoire
A beauty.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Wonderful Model! Just saw this gem; I like the object and your skills!

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you Eelco, Roland and James ! 🙂

Thomas Bischoff
Very nice build and I love these colourful 2nd line aircraft

Erik Leijdens
Great job on this remarkable Avenger Hanno 👍

Hanno Kleinecke
Thx Thomas and Eric ! @ Thomas : So do I, I' m not into camo at all, I like these colourful birds a lot ! 🙂

Bernhard Schrock
At the weekend I get a chance to see this beauty live: looks much better than on pictures. Great work Hanno.

Clifford Keesler
Very nice job Hanno.

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you, Bernhard and Clifford ! 🙂

Hanno Kleinecke

@ Burkhard, vielen Dank, das Lob für die Fotos gebührt Bernhard Schrock 🙂

Mike Grant
That looks amazing 👍

Bill Gilman
Beautiful work, Hanno! I love it. 👍

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you Mike and Bill, I feel honoured ! 🙂
@Bill : A slight similarity to the scheme of your current project can't be denied !

Bill Gilman
@Hanno, right you are. And my previous Sea Vixen and Firefly projects...and a few more that are coming up.

P.Vycichlo
Hi Hanno. I have a question. I see that you have in your project PE parts for Accurate not for Hobbyboss. Did it work by you? Or was it too complicated to get it in? You have no detail of the cockpit among the pictures. I would like to build British Avenger but not able to find PE parts for HB anywhere. Thanks Pavel P.s.: Your model is great!

Hanno Kleinecke
Hi Pavel, thank you !
I went through my fotos but unfortunately I have no w.i.p. pictures of the cockpitbuild anymore.
I can't remember having any problems at all fitting the AM Set in there. Maybe a bit altering here and there but nothing major, so it might work for you as well.

P.Vycichlo
Great. Thanks a lot. I will go for it 😀

Martin von Schreckenstein
great job on this one!

Augie
Oh wow love it, so different!

Hanno Kleinecke
Thank you, Martin and Augie !

Clifford Keesler
Looks amazing Hanno, very well done.

Lochsa River
