Trumpeter

[frank2056]

I have both of the Trumpeter Aerosans. For the RF-8/Gaz-98, the Vision models version is better. It is slightly more accurate comes with more figures and TWO aerosans for about the same price.

 Hot Dog! A pair of Aerosans and the Rheinmetal NbFz! I'm a happy man!

[pyro-manic]

And the NbFz is half the price of the Dragon kit, which makes me even happier!

So looking forward to the Neubaufahrzeug!   Problem will be to decide what to do with it: Imperial Japanese or Indiana Jones' Hatay?

And i now have my Trumpeter 1/72 J-20, nice kit although there is no internal weapon bays in the kit

^ Could you try to adapt an F-22's weapon bays?
<...>

Got me a J-20 and tried this. The RoG Raptor's main weapon bay has about the same length, but is slightly wider than the J-20's. Replacing these shouldn't be too much of a problem. The side weapon bays are quite a bit bigger on the Raptor. Replacing these should also be possible, but will take a little more work. Grafting on both main and side weapon bays at the same time may be more of a challenge.

Hmmm ... finally a preview of the new J-11 / Su-27 ... 



... but what happened to the wheel-bays !???

thanks for the heads-up moritz.

i'm just glad of trumpeter being so hot off the blocks with a new type.

The new Me-509:



Me thinks one in USAAF bare metal would look neat.

Didn't know about this one!! Masses of "whif" potential. Just hope I don't need to take out another mortgage to pay Trumpeter prices!! I can already see post war RAF/USAF examples appearing on my shelves........................!!!!

[The Big Gimper]

Any insight if this kit will be issued in 1/72? It would like nice beside the Unicraft Mustang FTB.

The 509 strangely reminds me of a Scimitar!  RAF Prototype potential?

At a stretch, maybe a slim, piston powered Attacker, but Scimitar?

Yes, Attacker, not too good on the RN FAA aircraft  Woops

I can see the resemblance too, but more to the straight winged Supermarine 508, the Scimitar's Dad. The wing shape and proportions of the 509 relative to the fuselage are very similar to the British aircraft.
