Wow, this is my first plane to get featured! Thanks everyone!

IT'S FINALLY HERE! After nearly 4 days worth of building and countless hours put into this creation, I present you, my TBF Avenger! As per request of many of you, I decided to make this plane, and boy is she gorgeous! I put many details and even a livery on it! If you like the plane (I highly suggest you check out the features, it's a beauty to fly), give it an upvote and maybe even spotlight it! I'd appreciate it! :D

    Could you fix the wings and change the paint scheme? I think it would look really nice if you do update it

    @hellcatz The Avenger was capable of torpedo bombing or conventional bombing. It handled like a truck, meaning it was helpless against enemy fighters. The only bomber that served a fighter role was the SBD Dauntless, which was used as a escort to other SBDs when F4Fs were in short supply. I am planning to collab with Weaverfish for a V2 version of my Avenger, with torpedos, sto wings and loads of new features! Stay tuned!

    @AndrewGarrison Nice! Was it painted in the livery I used or was it the standard three tone paint? (Thanks for the upvote by the way, it means alot to me!)

    Nice build. I just recently saw one of these at an air show at Scott AFB in the midwest.
