OverTorque Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 If it's like the 1:48 it won't be a good kit!I've already noticed several errors (the wheels for example). If they think to produce one kit that can be converted in all 365 versions they are fool!

OverTorque Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 I hope they will correct the wheels and the tail rotor blades!
OverTorque Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) Is it possible to contact Trumpeter to point out the mistakes i've seen in the test shots? I mean, a forum where they interact with modellers! Edited June 4, 2014 by OverTorque

OverTorque Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Trumpeter produces good kits, quality above the average, but missed totally the shapes and the measures with the dauphin family. They think they can make all variants of the dauphin with only one kit. I would not be surprised to see a 365 n2 in red and white...

OverTorque Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 OMG!Trumpeter please stop doing dolphin's variants. They are simply horrible.
markjames68 Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Are you refering to the helicpter itself or Trumpys rendering of it? Im not truly aufait with the Dauphin but it looks ok as a kit to me.. 1
Radleigh Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Are you refering to the helicpter itself or Trumpys rendering of it? Im not truly aufait with the Dauphin but it looks ok as a kit to me.. I'm guessing the kit by the loads of replies in this thread. I'm sure many like me will built it and be happy with it and/or correct the errors if they are to bad. Looks like one to me and the blades aren't to bad a fix?
OverTorque Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) I can tell you i know the 365n3 very well and i'm referring to shapes and dimensions, not the quality of the kit. Take a photo of the 365n3/hh65c and put it next to the kit. There are a lot of inaccuracies (the fenestron is still the one with 11 blades, the rear landing gear tyres are wider than the front ones and so on...). The kitty hawk is by far the best kit. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/68/CGAS_Houston_KEFD.JPG Edited April 7, 2015 by OverTorque

OverTorque Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 here we go again: - wrong tyres size - wrong winch size - wrong main blades bending - wrong nose shape - wrong engine exhausts - wrong tail vertical stabilizer angle ( you can notice it in the last two view, from above and below) By the way this is the best of the three! Cheers!
