VMA131Marine Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Apparently, this has been listed as a new release item for 13 years now. I'm not sure if the number of years is exactly correct, but its not far off. Take this announcement with several grains of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seiran01 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Just checked and it’s not April 1st, so I don’t think this is a joke. But it is sort of like thinking I’ve seen a ghost after so many years of “no, for real, the kit is coming this year.” So maybe it’s finally near the finish line, and that’s great news. I’m not familiar with the plane beyond the basic shape, but it looks good to me from that photo. Hope it sells well for them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin ritchie Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 There are people in the Large Scale Planes forum who will be having a collective meltdown over these pics - It's been a long long time since the kit was promised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Evans Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) It looks great but aren't they the same markings as the Monogram 1/48 one? Edited as I've looked at the Monogram boxart and it is the same markings. Mind you, I don't know much about USN aircraft markings but I thought that the yellow on the tail was a different shade from that on the wings (Lemon instead of Chrome maybe?)

William R Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 @Phill Evans you are correct the wings were Glossy Orange-Yellow (similar to FS13538, Gloss Insignia Yellow) and the Lexington Air Group tail is Gloss Light Yellow (similar to FS 13655 Blue Angel Yellow). Is it me or are the Trumpeter canopies suffering from the usual Trumpeter too wide spread? Looks that way in the sprue photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
