Tim Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 The F-105 looks promising! The Sea Fury looks great too although I wish Trumpeter would cool their enthusiasm for rivet detail - it looks like somebody's run a machine gun across it!

Paul Bradley Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Look at all those rivets on that poor Fury! Good grief, they'd be 2 inches across and deep on a scaled up one...... I'm sticking to my old Hobbycraft kit, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacificmustang Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 yep, that figures !! halfway through the HC kit adding details from the flightpath and CE sets. It oes look luvly though. Rivets notwithstanding!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiSteve Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 (edited) Stephen nice find , the fury looks great pity about the rivets I guess you could tone them down some how, but the Mig-17 is very intriguing I'd be nice to add another cold war bird to the stash Edited December 9, 2007 by KiwiSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahut Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 ... pity about the rivets I guess you could tone them down some how, but the Mig-17 is very intriguing I'd be nice to add another cold war bird to the stash The rivets DO look pretty heavy, but the rest lokos good.

Greg B Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 The rivets I can live with, a couple of coats of primer and a rub down of the kit and it will be fine. Looks pretty damn good to me. Now wheres that gannet????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcn Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I just love the Sea Fury so thats on the list. Those rivets looked to have been toned up by some preshading so i'm sure my heavy hand could tone them down. Liked to have seen some cockpit detail but I guess its black anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robban Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Wohoo! I love the F-105! I'm currently battling with the old Monogram kit, although it looks good(apart from the nose) I don't like the raised panel lines. I hope the Trumpeter F-105 will do this marvelous aircraft justice!

OzH Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Whats made me laugh is a comment along the lines of: "dammit!!! i jsut spent a s*** load on the hobbycraft kit and a bunch of aftermarket. why does this ALWAYS happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Gland I'm not the only one!! Got 3 Hobby craft kits and loads of after market bits and bobs. Still, I'm sure I'll use them, eventually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robban Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 If their 1:48 F-105 is a downscaling of their 1:32 kit then it will need alot of fixing around the nose and spine. But it's better then having to rescribe the panellines, like on the Monogram/Revell kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thx6667 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Ok, nit pick here - not sure about the style of numbers or the proportions of those roundels! But then again, the plastic looks good, rivets don't really bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid de Koning Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Oh yeah, a new 105! Me very happy! I'll take 3 please. Now, what about a new 100 and 101 in this scale... Regards, Sid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Roberts Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Give 'em time on the F-100 in Quarter Scale. If the Thud is HobbyBoss then I'd expect to see a HB F-100 later in the year. If they read the boards they will have seen alot of demand (though how widespread?) for a new quarterscale Hun. If they do lets hope Trumpy has The Vietnam ordinance ready to go with another 32nd release so that the proper drop tanks and maybe even the strike camera will be in a new 48th F-100. I think it'll be a while before we see a new Voodoo in any scale, especially the single seaters and recce ones though. If nobody has thought enough market for one existed to do a limited run or even to keep the old Hasegawa 72nd in production I wonder how a new 'doo would get thru the greenlighting process. But hey HobbyBoss prove me wrong Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Roberts Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) Hey another question.... Regarding the Sea Fury. Somewhere around here there is a statement about the kit being to The same standard as the Wyvern. As I have not yet scored one of those (try imagining asking Santa, aka the missus, for a Wyvern and getting the puzzled looks back!) does this look like the surface on the Wyvern?

neilfgr2 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) They have still not got the gear right, far too short as on the 72nd one... and the rivets.... What the F88k look at the difference on the hobbycraft Sea Fury. Cheers, Neil Edited December 12, 2007 by neilfgr2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike V Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 If their 1:48 F-105 is a downscaling of their 1:32 kit then it will need alot of fixing around the nose and spine. But it's better then having to rescribe the panellines, like on the Monogram/Revell kit. Indeed! The Trumpy 32nd scale F-105 was botched in quite a few areas and definitely not one of their better kits. I hope they don’t over engineer it, and keep it simple. The rivet/fastener detail; my God when will they "get it"? They still don’t have a grip on that tooling aspect as the rivet detail sill looks like punched holes. Personally, I'd rather scribe a Monogram kit than fill and fair all those holes. Also, I can produce a finer scribe panel lines than Trumpeter's tooling. If they indeed just "scale down" their 32nd scale kit, then I'll probably stick with the Monogram kit. Even with Monogram's pointed nose, it still would be a lot more accurate than a true scaled down Trumpy F-105!. Let's hope they fixed all those major errors. One more issue to note is the retail cost. Trumpeter has already announced a 25% price jacking on all their kits. That's really going to kill a lot of sales her in the states, where Stevens is already raking us over the coals for Trumpeter kits! Mike V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robban Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Here's an excellent looking Trumpeter F-105 in 1:72 scale. Shame about those rivets though, but beside that it looks really good IMO. http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index....howtopic=138312 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
