Out2gtcha Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Any chance Trumpeter will blow the A-3, A-5/RA-5, and or do a prowler and viking......thoughts? I worked on and around modern grays for years, and find them for the most part utterly boring. However, the EA-6B and the S-2 are definite exceptions to that! Id take either in 32nd. Weird, as Im not really into the current A-6 at ALL. Vitali 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitali Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I'd like to see the RA-5C and the S-3A in 32 scale. There was a rumor that Trumpeter were going to do the EA-6B Prowler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Little chance, but I would buy - and build - a 1/32 IM RA-5C Vigi, EKA-3B Whale and an early EXCAP/ICAP EA-6B Four Holer - would add the S-3A Hoover and E-2C Hawkeye as well, all in LGG/W schemes. My gawd, Aries could produce a Pound of resin AM for each one ! Insane, very unlikely, but irresistible if any of those happened. I'm still holding out for a nuclear F-101B, Deuce & Six plus recce RF-101C to round out the Century Series. Tony Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_K Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Considering how miserably the RA-5C in 1/48th scale sold, I would question Trumpeter's economic sanity by making one in 1/32. castlegaiden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I'd go for a Prowler, keeping company with my A6A and A6E Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because the kit was a real pig to assemble and nothing fit very well. It had huge mold lines down the side of the fuselage sides which ruined the panel lines. If it had been designed better and fit well I think many more would have sold. I really like the Vigilante but would never buy this kit. It's a POS.

DeanKB Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 It depends whether it's the P-51B team, or the Avenger team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the Vigilante but would never buy this kit. It's a POS. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder or maybe the PPOS is directly proportional to skill? One steaming POS.. Another steamer Some more steaming POS Pretty decent looking Viggies from this perch but your milage may vary depending on whether you are a box shaker or after a Viggie. Put me down for a Viggie in 32nd and also an EA-6B, photographed this Prowler at Red Flag and would love to do it in 32. Bring em on based off Trumps recent effort like the A-6 they would be awesome.

thierry laurent Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I would not hold my breath for any new large scale jet from Trumpeter if their policy does not change and this is not what seems to be the case. Keep in mind they did not launch any really new large scale jet project for at least the five last years. In fact, all the recently released large scale kits are projects started for long. God knows I would be glad to be wrong! With regard to jets, I think that the best surprises will hopefully come from KH, HK, Kinetic or Italeri. I also hope that we will get some interesting helos such as a Sea King from Fly. All other jet producers like Tamiya or Academy have not been really active for years either. I hoped that Meng would go on with modern releases (like the F-102) after the Me163 but nothing new appeared. DML does not even seem willing to release further Luftwaffe topics, so jets are out of scope. Ditto for Hasegawa. And besides the Buckeye, the releases from the MPM constellation also slowed down noticeably. Wait and see. Thierry Darren Howie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Yes, I'm really holding out for KHM moving on to late fifties / early sixties jets like the Voodoo, Deuce and Six. Glen, you are our only hope Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I forgot Revell but they are not anymore either a large player in this arena... Indeed, even if I'm very glad the Hawk was released, I'm surprised they did not choose an Alpha Jet or a Magister as they seem to focus on Bundesluftwaffe topics.
