What do you think Trumps next FAA kit in 48th will be?

I'll take a Sea Vixen in 1/48. Very cool aircraft.

Anything Fleet Air Arm would be fine.

An injected Scimitar (I didn't like much Dynavector's), a Foxy Lady (though I really like Dynavector's, I thought it was easier than their Scimitar, go figure...), a Gannet AEW (if you think the Gannet AS1 is ugly)...

Then, some Russian hardware would be cool (and Soviet weaponry in 1/48 would be even better), like Fitters, Floggers, Foxbats and Foxhounds. And a Fishpot too.

I could have sworn I saw someone mention a Scimitar and a Gannet in 2008 yesterday, being "overheard at a show..." :hmmm:

I think that may have been me - but I didn't say it was "overheard", it was stated as fact by someone who would, in my view, be in a position to know. I don't think it would be fair to name the individual at the risk of compromising his professional relationship with Trumpeter.

Certainly hope it's true!

I thought Trumpeter had a 1/32 Buccaneer slated for a future release (I'm sure I read this somewhere?) so if they do multi-scaling with this we may yet see a high quality Buc.

On the Tonka front, cant see Tamiya ever doing one in 1/48 or 1/32, maybe Trumpeter could do this once they catch up with what's been hinted by them, would be years down the line though.

The main man at Trumpeter was talking to Phillip Brook (Pocketbond man) in the car when I was there, telling him that the British subjects are the bestsellers, far outstripping expectations. Based on that alone you can expect the trend to continue.

I personally saw the Jaguar masters (single and two seat) so I know for a fact that that one is on the way, and the multi scaling thing is something we've seen them do throughout anyway.

Long may it continue I say :)

I had no idea they were doing a Jag - what scale is the the initial release model going to be? do you happen to know.
