Trumpeter model kits

Trumpeter 1/32 Allison V-1710

Allison, a Division of General Motors, began developing the ethylene glycol-cooled V-1710 in 1929, in order to meet a USAAC need for a modern 1,000 hp (750 kW) engine to fit into a new generation of streamlined bombers and fighters. The [...]

Trumpeter 1/24 Hurricane MkIIc

This turned out to be a very pleasant and easy build. The actual aircraft had the black very crudely brush painted with areas of the original camo showing through especially on the wings. I, however, was not prepared to try and replicate [...]

1/48 Vickers Wellington Mk Ic

Hello The kit is from Trumpeter and the decals are from Techmod. The aircraft flew with 311(Czechoslovak) Squadron, England, March, 1941. The kit is very nicely detailed, complete interior, unfortunately you can't see it at the end. The [...]

Review: Airscale 1/32 Aftermarket for Trumpeter TBD-1 Devastator

Nigel in the UK has received some goodies for the Trumpeter 1/32 TBD-1 Devastator all 3D printed - twin .30 machine guns, two sets of wheels (without or with tread), and wing folds. Take a look and enjoy. (link)

Mk.18 Mod 0 CQBR

I needed a break from a number of more involved projects I was working on, so I decided to slap some paint on something I had never built before: a 1/3 scale firearm, in this case the Mk.18 Mod 0 CQBR by Trumpeter. Quick and fun build, fun [...]

Review: Trumpeter 1/32 TBD-1 Devastator

From the beginning of carrier aviation, the torpedo had been seen as the best weapon for aircraft to use against warships, given the light explosive weight and inaccurate aiming of aerial bombs. Due to the technology of the torpedo itself [...]

Trumpeter F9F-3 Panther

I recently completed Trumpeter's F9F-3 Panther for a Korean War group build. The kit was built out of the box. No add on accessories. The fit was not too bad. There were a couple seams that needed addressed. Just another day at the bench, [...]

Build update on 6 1/32 scale AV8BII Harriers commission build for the USMC Blacksheeps

Whew! This is a hell of a project, one that can drive you nuts, especially if the kit is sub par. The way I am tackling it is by doing each section completely for one aircraft and I figure out any issues during assembly of that step. Once [...]

Trumpeter F6F-5N Hellcat Night Fighter 1/32

Hellcat, everybody loves it, everybody has one so... I got me one. I saw many examples of this extraordinary fighter plane and many with the fuselage open to see the interior and I was encouraged to do it this way. I decided to work on the [...]

It's here!! Trumpeter 1/32 TBD-1

The beeg box from Squadron landed on the front porch here at Le Chateau du Chat an hour ago. Preliminary observation: I was right that it is based on the Great Wall Hobby kit. That's good news. Other than everything is big, nothing looks [...]
