Description
The TBM-3 is almost finished. Of course the kit’s instructions fucked me. Instructions say to drop the turret in after closing up the fuselage. Except the turret doesn’t fit once the fuselage is closed up, so I had to just jam the fucker in there and hope for the best. Luckily it settled in almost straight, so it kind of looks acceptable. The aftermarket PE flaps weren’t quite as bad as I feared, though I’m pretty sure they’re extended too far even for a full-flap setting. I couldn’t really figure out a way to mount them any other way, though, so screw it. All that remains is the prop, pilot, and radioman.
