chrisrope Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hi I gave my last Revell Gannet away as it had broken clear parts, a very common problem it appears It's a shame as it is a nice kit. I'd like a Gannet in the stash so was wondering if the Trumpy one is OK I know it doesn't have an open/poseable bomb bay like the Revell but if the clear parts are a bit more robust, I might get one Or is there any chance Revell improved the clear bits in the newer T5 boxing Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I have the trumpeter kit and looks nice in the box. I'm sure I had read somewhere that the Revell kit is superior in terms of shape accuracy, but I had found the chinese kit for such a low price that I could not pass so for me this was not a bad choice. The clear parts in my kit are perfect. Mind, if it's only a matter of clear parts you could try replacing the ones in the Revell kit with the Falcon parts meant for the old Frog one, don't know if they fit but if they do they would be quite an improvement. Aeroclub also did a vacuform canopy for the Frog kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don McIntyre Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I REALLY wish Revell would do this in 1/48, too. They've done all the research already, sooooo... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony C Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) Thanks fellas, I'll look out for one soon Tony, that looks ace, guessing it has a bit of AM in it too Cheers Chris Thanks, yes I used the Alley Cat wingfold, Eduard PE and the Falcon vac canopies, which I think were intended for the Frog kit!
