eng Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 My first, but not my last Trumpeter kit! Arrived today and I had 5 mins before going to work for a quick look. First impression is it's beautiful, rivet detail is a bit over the top but hopefully primer n paint will tone it down a tad. 3 decal options all for SEA camo aircraft, and the weapons include 2 AGM-78's, 4 AGM-45's (dual adapters included to allow all 4 to be fitted), ECM pods and 3 fuel tanks. Refuel probe and gun bay can be built open and so can the exhaust petals/airbrakes. Wings build up with separate flaps and ailerons, and the wheel wells are pretty well detailed too. Cockpit is fairly busy with decals for the instrument panels. Will post some pic's later if anyone want's a better idea of whats in it.

Rabspat Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Which scale? If it is the 1/32 boxing i recommend the Aeroclub White metal udercarriage legs, the kit ones are rubbish. Linky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eng Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Good point, I've neglected to mention it's the 1/72nd one! Eng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-32 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I've only got the old Airfix kit, but the new one looks very tempting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchet Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Just had a thought (it happens occasionally): Can the twin Shrike launcher be used on a Black Buck Vulcan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vultures1 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Just had a thought (it happens occasionally): Can the twin Shrike launcher be used on a Black Buck Vulcan? I'm pretty sure that the twin launcher on the Black Buck Vulcan was the same, so yes. Biggest Weasel ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
