1/48 General Atomics Avenger
With a look that says “I’m all business”, this is one UAV that we’d really like to see put into widespread service. At least two versions of the vehicle have been developed to date; the first was initially referred to as the “Predator C” and later “Avenger”, while the second, larger, vehicle is known as the “Avenger ER” and has recently been referred to as the MQ-20A in press releases issued by General Atomics.
This 1/48 scale kit represents what may have been an early Avenger ER configuration with the longer forward fuselage but lacking winglets. It features the UAV in a flying configuration (gear up) with engraved panel lines and a faithful representation of the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545B engine fan and exhaust. Display base is also included.
The reference photos shown here have been used to baseline the major external features of the vehicle for development of this kit. Although efforts have been taken to develop an accurate representation of the Avenger, the kit has been designed using only materials available in the public domain and may, therefore, inaccurately represent certain details that would otherwise be available only via proprietary information.
Printed with the highest-quality desktop 3D printing technology, this kit consists of 3D printed resin parts. Assembly with CA or epoxy glue is required, and some cleanup of support stubs will be necessary as you will receive “rough trimmed” parts as well as some parts with printing supports still attached.
