TBM-3 USS Bunker Hill 1/48

Academy 12285 - TBM-3 USS Bunker Hill

Academy 12285 – TBM-3 USS Bunker Hill in 1/48 scale is a highly detailed plastic model kit representing the American Grumman TBM-3 Avenger torpedo bomber operated from the aircraft carrier USS Bunker Hill during World War II. The aircraft played a crucial role in the Pacific War, performing torpedo attacks, bombing, and reconnaissance missions.

The kit includes detailed cockpit, bomb bay, landing gear, armament, and authentic decals, making it ideal both as a standalone display model and as part of realistic carrier-based aviation dioramas.

The finished model measures approximately 20.0 cm in length with a wingspan of about 22.0 cm, providing an accurate 1/48 scale representation.

The model comes unpainted and unassembled, offering full creative freedom to recreate authentic US Navy WWII color schemes. Vallejo Model Color is recommended — for example, 70.898 Dark Sea Blue, 70.899 Dark Prussian Blue, and 70.905 Intermediate Blue for camouflage, 70.950 Black for details, and 70.863 Gunmetal Grey for engine and metallic parts.

Glue and paints not included.
