ChuckD Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 The Avenger was my first shot at a 1/32 kit and it was fantastic. I've got it on my radar to do another one because the kit was such a joy to build. I found the cowl fit on the Dauntless (-3/4 in my case) to be extremely fiddly and poorly engineered. Their Wildcat kit is cheap, easy, and fun to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Mike Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 I had forgotten about the Swordfish. One of their better efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I thought their SU-27/30 kits were fantastic. scvrobeson and chrish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunwinglow Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Well, I might agree on the TBM, but the Swordfish looks good but, like a few Trumpeter kits, the more you look, the more you realize it needs work. It makes up into an impressive model no doubt though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigor Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Well I don't build jets so can't say on that front. And I only have one prop from them but haven't built it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 Yeah, just a couple of jets here as well, MiG 29, 21mf. Michael931080 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 On 12/1/2019 at 4:52 AM, blackbetty said: they give us subjects nobody else has done Having "started" 3 Trumpeter kits, A-7D, F-8E and kit bashing 2 F-100Ds into a F-100F all have shape issues, way over done and inconstant surface detail and some fit issues. However, they are all buildable if you've willing to go the extra mile or two. I think that Karl's final statement speaks to Trumpeter's real strength.

Durangokid Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 A lot have already mentioned the Intruder. I built the A version and it went together very well. The only thing really lacking is the cockpit but it doesn't look too bad once it's all built up. I also like the TBM Avenger, it fits together nicely but it was attacked by the rivet monster...

blackbetty Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 i built the 19 and its a nightmare, i failed to get it to sit right. lots of incorrect details too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel111 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I haven’t built the A-6 but from looking at the kit and researching online it’s seems superb. Surface detail is outstandingly fine and accuracy is good. Only issue is the wing fence location, which is an easy fix. Now ie back to the Trumpeter F-14 :-/ Marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
