ChuckD Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 The early Pacific air war nut in me longs for a quality Devastator. Neither of which will be coming from trumpeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 I miss the halcyon days of Trumpy output too. I'd happily settle for a mis-shapen 1/32 Draken, Flagon or Foxbat knowing full well they're waaay better than vac-forms. Hell, spotting the errors and coming up with fixes was part of the fun.

I'm the exact opposite; love the Intruder, don't really care for the Prowler. It's my attack aircraft passion that drives this.

thierry laurent Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 The MiG-29 series came out of the blue. So, it is quite probable we will still have similar surprises. Wait and see. Jack, Royboy, Kagemusha and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not checked the differences between these, but it might just be the new fin and decals trick. Tony One would hope they'd take the opportunity to correct the wing thickness and the shape of the tail, and then give it a proper C cockpit, but it will probably just be a scaled-up version of the mess that is the 1/48 kit.

otis252 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I couldn't agree more about n EA-6B Prowler! It would only take 2 new fuselage halves, new inner wings and of course the cockpit and canopies. That's pretty much t. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otis252 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 But I think that's part of the fuselage halves. Chuck LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steel_tiger Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Would buy a prowler in a half a heartbeat. Especially since I now own Jakes new book on the beasty. otis252 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 They're doing one in 1/72, so look at that and imagine amplified errors — although the Intruder was definitely an A-team effort. An EA-6A electric Intruder is more logical, and one of the early pods is included in the (now OOP) regular F-100D kit, although I'm also desirous of an EA-6B, and S-3A Hoover. For minimum tooling we could also get a MiG-23UB, and pigs might fly and Trumpeter unsquashes the SLUFs in an A-7D/E part deux. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Trumpeter’s promises mean nothing. I think the local Chinese market is more important to them than a few disgruntled westerners. I wouldn't be surprised if they announced models as a sort of fishing expedition to see the interest that develops. Not enough interest, and they won't bother.

Well, I was already a member of the prior generation of LSP many years ago and I have never seen any Trumpeter announcement related to the other century fighters. Gossips and rumors but no formal message from them. Obviously the same cannot be said about the F-100F that stayed for years in the catalogue to be suddenly canceled in 2020.
