About the Grumman TBF/TBM Avenger

The Grumman TBF/TBM Avenger was the most effective torpedo bomber of World War II, serving with distinction throughout the Pacific Theater. The TBF designation indicated Grumman production, while TBM indicated General Motors production of the same design. Powered by the Wright R-2600 radial engine, the Avenger could carry a 2,000-pound torpedo or equivalent bomb load in its internal weapons bay. The Avenger achieved fame at the Battle of Midway and continued to serve through the end of the war, sinking more enemy shipping than any other Allied torpedo bomber. Future President George H.W. Bush flew TBM Avengers as a Navy pilot. The Avenger's distinctive profile and combat record make it a favorite subject for WWII naval aviation enthusiasts.

What's Included

Eduard's CX series masks are precision-cut from thin, flexible vinyl that conforms perfectly to complex canopy curves and wheel hubs. The set typically includes canopy frame masks for both interior and exterior surfaces, wheel hub masks, and any additional glazed areas. The self-adhesive backing ensures secure placement without residue, while the material's flexibility allows it to follow compound curves without lifting or leaking paint.
