FINISHED! 1/48 Scratchbuilt T4M-1 torpedo bomber

[ghodges]

This is my 1/48 scratchbuilt Martin T4M-1 Torpedo bomber. The wings and tail surfaces are plastic wrapped balsa or plastic cores and the fuselage was vacked from a carved balsa form. Even the engine and the prop were rebuilt. The only parts not scratchbuilt were items like the main tires, the torpedo, the Scarf ring, and the Lewis gun.

The complete build procedure from day-1 can be found in the "Build" topic area if you wonder what was done or how it was done. It took 3-1/2mos from start to finish.

Comments, critiques, and questions are welcome, as always! feels good to have this one done!
