TBF-1 Avenger early in 1942. Note the red spot centered in the US national insignia, which was removed just before the Battle of Midway

It's terrible if it's actually supposed to be a TBF (wings and H stab are wrong, as is fuselage... Oh, the gear are in the wrong place, too )

Looks like the roundels have the Star with a red circle in the middle. That was eliminated before TBFs ever saw combat (for fear of what happened in this thread, misidentification with japanese aircraft )


a zoom on the above picture. it was an ATB torpedo plane. saw it a day out of davao on my return trip, I planned to scout the northern coast of Australia..

I knew it was an enemy cause my crew fired at the plane ! and the plane dropped bombs at us.

Anyone got a better 3d model of an Avenger ? with the rear belly gun ?

we should make a new plane, IJN for instance, and set up a US 3d model to simulate "friendly fire" ?
