                        Between their ships and aircraft, this is obviously a Trumpeter conspiracy to bankrupt me.

                        apart from being a monster, the stirling, wellington and short sunderland were as i remember the first bombers i ever made way, way back when...(the old airfix in 1/72)...
                        i'm going to have to start working nights to pay for all the new kits i want to buy this year!![:0]Smile [:)]

                        ...worried about the quality of the kits?

                        I for one would NOT be happy with plunking down close to $100US for a kit with the fit and finish seen in the F-105G. Perhaps I'm just being picky, but it would seem to me that for that kind of cash there shouldn't be significant fit issues.

                        The A-7 and F-100 would be a super addition to the large scale collection.

                        it looks like they do their market research here.
                        Enough people have asked for a vigi and things like the wellington over the last couple of years.

                        Chengdu F10 in 1/72!

                        There are only a couple of (Very blurry) photos of this a/c available in the West!

                        Should be a real eye opener!

                        Hope it's accurate.

                        Cheers,

                        Huh?! A 1/48 Vigilante... I was expecting someone like Monogram to do one and never thought of Trumpeter. That will be cool though. A lot of people have wanted a Vigi in this scale for a long time and it looks like we finally go it! I would like to see an all new 1/32 F6F Hellcat, how about anyone else?

                        Especially check out the P-38 in 1/32 and the RA-5C in 1/48.
