not a fighter but a Grumman TBF Avenger torpedo bomber, and a very capable one at that

Did you notice the image is shifted to the right at the bottom? Looks like it just duplicates itself, maybe.

Might be a TBM avenger.

The detail visible here is really brilliant!! Wow, what a treat... <3 I love the dark shadows 'round the edges, too!

Its a Grumman TBF/TBM Avenger guys. The wings scream Grumman and the cowling tells you which one. Its most certainly not a Helldiver; different wing fold and yes, wrong prop. Late model Helldivers at 4 bladed props and the early model, 3 bladed version, had a large spinner over the hub.

Great shot indeed. You gotta love 'em when they're all polished and shiny.

I love propellers! Sweet pic. Now put a sexy pin up babe on it and it's a poster.
