As a youngster many years ago I would go down to the local Toy Shop and get a plastic model to build. One of my favorites was a Monogram TBF Avenger kit. I still remember it some 50+ years later. Well I got to know Mark from Heritage, they were the ones who originally kitted the Avenger years back when he lived in Horizon City,Texas. I liked what I saw back then and wanted one. When Mike at Skyshark picked up the line from Mark I ordered a kit. At the time I had way to many projects and a gentleman offered me a fair price so I parted with it. Parting with it has nagged at me for about 10 years. So I'm finally doing the build. I've sorted though the box and I'm really impressed with what Shyshark has done. From the plans to the wood selection and laser cutting this is a first class kit. I hope I can do it justice.
I'd like it to be something different so I'm leaning to the North Atlantic scheme. Lenny at shindin machine still does the struts that will fit Robart gear so that one major obstacle out of the way. Power is to be determined but I have not ruled out electric power. Pilots are a big issue and the hunt is on for something that will look right as there is just too much canopy to leave empty.
