1:32 Scale Trumpeter, Grumman TBF-1C, “Avenger”
This is one of those kits that, after you build it, the thought of, "What the hell am I gonna do with this?" It's a big model. I have to say though, even though Trumpeter has a reputation for fit issues, that this kit is NOT [...]
And now for something completely different!
Trumpeter 1/72 J10-s In Chinese markings.
Despite it's elegant form I recently found out that it does'nt really fly too well! Was doing some dusting one day and knocked her off the shelf, needless to say she exploded! Most of the small [...]
Trumpeter 1/32 F-100D Super Sabre
North American first began thinking about making a supersonic fighter in 1948. There were two ways to go at the time: a very big fighter powered by a very big engine, or Something Else, something only dimly seen at the time. Being at [...]
Trumpeter 1/32 SBD-2
Trumpeter basically scaled up the Accurate Miniatures Dauntlesses (good idea) with some additional detail (but not much other than surface detail and engine and accessory section). The Dauntless has raised rivets on the surface, but the [...]

This is 1/32 P-40 B Tomahawk from Trumpeter built several years ago with the markings of RAF 112nd squadron. Construction started with the engine. Exhausts replaced with those from Nobblecraft.
Next step is the cockpit. Unfortunately [...]
Westland Wyvern in 1/48 scale from Trumpeter.
Trumpeter have really done us proud. Not only do they issue well engineered (mostly) kits, but they produce models you are unlikely to see from other manufacturers for anything like the price. My Wyvern was built out-of-the-box with only [...]
Look! Up in the air! Is it a bird? A plane? A flying pig? Trumpeter 1/72 Gannet
TC does indeed build in eensy-weensy scale, just not that often. This is the Trumpeter 1/72 Gannet with the A2Zee wingfold and bomb bay sets, with Xtradecals. Sadly, about a week after it was completed, one of the new kittens was [...]
