This 1:48 scale model represents the powerful Grumman TBF-1C Avenger, one of the key aircraft of the Battle of Leyte Gulf (1944), a defining moment in the Pacific War.
Designed as a torpedo bomber and carrier-based strike aircraft, the Avenger became one of the most feared planes of the U.S. Navy, renowned for its long range, heavy payload capacity, and Grumman’s legendary durability, earning the nickname “Iron Works.”
The fuselage features engraved panel lines, a fully detailed bomb bay, movable dorsal turret, detailed control surfaces, 14-cylinder radial engine, and realistic three-blade propeller.
The cockpit includes complete instrumentation, accurate seats, a clear openable canopy, rear gunner position, and visible interior compartments through the side windows.
Weapons include a Mk.13 torpedo, 500 lb bombs, .50 cal Browning machine guns, and auxiliary tanks for multiple loadouts.
High-quality decals reproduce the markings of the VT-19 Squadron aboard the USS Lexington (CV-16) during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, with authentic deep navy-blue finish and white U.S. insignia.
A model that combines technical precision, historical depth, and the legacy of the Avenger, symbol of U.S. naval air power.
