dswoofie Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 The 1/32 ones were on here yesterday, but not the 1/72... Nice to see that there is a possibility of them appearing as there has been a desperate need for good Lightnings in 1/72! Let's just hope that they DO appear! Karl.

Edgar Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Bit concerned about the artwork on the (alleged) Mk.3. It's an F.1A, and it's not like Trumpeter to get that sort of thing wrong. Edgar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wooksta V2.0 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Yes, and remember all the whingeing buggers about the Gannet when it was finally released. Okay, it may have had a few problems but compared to the old Frog one? I had to lie down when I heard the news of the 72nd one. A mate of mine nearly exploded.

Dave Fleming Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 Idle speculation time....... I wonder if we will see these re-boxes under another brand - or could it be a co-operative tooling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Id have seen that pic Id have thrown a wobbly too, Id love to get my hands on an AEW3 Gannet, just gotta get savin the ol pocket money for a 1/32 Frightning, hide it from the other half in my stash build it, then somehow find room for it Bex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean what I think you mean, then I think the answer maybe No!

Matt Roberts Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I am wondering if the kits will come with the additional goodies needed to do a Kuwaiti and Saudi Lightning? Also I wonder how long until Airfix has until it'll have a HobbyBoss 48th to contend with Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon M. Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 According to Hannants, MPM are also doing an F Mk.3. I haven't made any Trumpeter or MPM kits, which do you think will be the better kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allok Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Excellent news... but I'll believe it when I see it. After all, where's that Devastator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't made any Trumpeter or MPM kits, which do you think will be the better kit? The MPM kit will be accurate in overall shape, but the nose ring will be too small! The undercarriage bay will have a big moulding lug in the centre. The seat will bear a passing resemblance to a Martin Baker design, and the decals will be superb! The Trumpeter kit will be accurate overall - but will be riddled with rivets!! The canopy will be the wrong shape. The decals will look okay but parts will be in the wrong colour! Any jesting aside..The MPM kit is of limited run design, the Trumpeter kit will be more main stream. I'll be treating myself to both- certainly as the F1/F1a/F2 is only being issued by Trumpeter..... The best kit will be the one with the more accurate wing's.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't made any Trumpeter or MPM kits, which do you think will be the better kit? Better?? If by better you mean 'more accurate' then, maybe, MPM. If by better you mean 'better fitting & easier to build', then Trumpeter. Keef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
