Dug out the AM Avenger I started building 4 years ago, intending to use Aeromaster decal sheet for FAA Avenger II serial JZ490, for no better reason than I like aircraft with invasion stripes. I know there is some question as to the exact cabin configuration of FAA Avengers, but I have a Kendall TBM-1 conversion set which includes the second crew station, so that should at least provide the bare bones for that area. What I am more concerned about is whether JZ490 should be built as a TBM-1 or a TBM-1C, as according to what I've found online, both types were designated Avenger II in the FAA. Not major work either way, which would make getting it wrong all the more frustrating....... Any help appreciated, Cheers, Bil.
