camper1 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) Hi Folks This is my Trumpeter Attacker complete with 'cream crackered' canopy totally my fault. I decided to fit the canopy cover as if the aircraft was being readied for the night outside, didn't glue the canopy on in the vain hope someone might have the spare from the Magna or CA kit. If any one has a spare I would be very greatful if they would get in touch. Straight forward build no problems fit wise, finished with Xtracolor paints and Xtradecals.

Mike Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 You've added those as links, rather than pics Ian To correct that, just edit the pic, and then go to FlickR, right-click your pic & choose Copy Link Location then paste it into your thread 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thud4444 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I like that idea! How can a plane be that ugly and yet still look so aerodynamic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 he's done it That's a good kit, which is why the anti-Trumpeter "supporters" forget to mention it when they're having a rant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst is the position of the horizontal stabilizers on the rear of the fuselage; they are far too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't spot that in my review... if I knew where it was, I'd go and have a looksee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) Beautiful job Ian and you`ve just reminded me to go and look for that old Magna canopy that I`m sure I have somewhere,....... I went up to look last week and then forgot why I went upstairs,.....doh!!! Been a bit bad with the old back since so it totally slipped my mind,...sorry, Cheers Tony Edit,.....found it mate,.....it is the early type with framing, not the later bubble style,....I`ll drop it off at Halifax this weekend.
