Julien Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Nice they are both doing one. Given the excellent F-102 from Meng I would lean towards them for the A model. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgio N Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I'm glad to see another 1/72 Dart coming. However Trumpeter will really have to do something with their prices if they want to sell this one to me. The Meng kit is fantastic but expensive, if Trumpeter's is as expensive very few people will buy this instead of the Meng one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric B. Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 As Giorgio said F-106A, I don't know : Trumpy really need to do something if they want to sell one to me as I already have the Meng model on my shelves.. But a F-106B might well find a place in my stash! Cheers Eric B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV107 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Likewise. They might sell me a couple of B-models, but since I assiduously trawled e-bay for Meng F-106s that were being offered for rather less than the RRP with a reasonable degree of success, I doubt I'll be after the A-model unless it is particularly good and somewhat cheaper from the get-go than Meng's effort.

Kevin Callahan Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Meng has satisfied my single-seat F-102/F-106 needs, but I likely will pick up the F-106B two-seater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Callahan Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I've already got the Meng F-106A, so I'm really more interested in the F-106B. Any target date for that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain goat Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Its price, roughly compared with the Meng one is kind of a selling point. Meng's a stunningly nice kit, but so much stuff in the box that's not really needed. I just hope Trumpeter has got the basic countours right because the 106 has such a distinctive fuselage shape.

71chally Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 You can get the Meng '106 for £30, so the Trumpy kit doesn't seem to have much of a price advantage, even at that discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
