bushande Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Hmmmmm .... I see this now entirely from a monetary perspective I must confess: The Trumpet is little over 134 USD now. If one is lucky it might even be possible to shoot a cheaper one in the time ahead. Even if henceforth the old Revell kit would drop significantly in price, in order to render a halfway decent interpretation of the original, you are bound to get the ZACTO parts which are at an understandably 128 bugs. In any case, going the Revell / Zacto route would cost me more dough to achieve the same level of accuracy as the Trumpet at max, if at all. Hmmmm .... makes a decision fairly easy for me I guess .... Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 the revell kit was made without references, only way to not make the errors would be to produce no kit at all.... keep it in perspective Shame they didn't put that energy into something like a J.35 Draken instead, which was still around in numbers back then - and accessible. I have the Revell UB and Zacto set. At least the nozzles can be used on the Trumpy. I might give the kit to my wife for her school raffle.

Tony T Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Will they ever fix terrible R-27 missiles I wonder. Zactomodels' Vympels are great... http://www.zactomodels.com Really hankering after this UB but the boxes are even bigger than the colossal Intruder kit. I almost fell over holding the MiG-29A box! (There's nothing wrong with more compact packaging Mr Trumpeter, especially as most of us buy mail order.)
