chomper Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Have you seen Trump's F-100 kits? I have one in the stash. Just have not put it under the microscope yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pookie Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I'd rather see the single seater. Am I in the minority? Aaron There has been a single seater available in 1/48 for several decades. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Brown Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I have one in the stash. Just have not put it under the microscope yet. A microscope isn't necessary. Let's just say, don't throw out your Monogram kits. Although you can use the Trumpeter kit for the early speed brake and Sidewinder missiles & pylons. :D Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReccePhreak Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Is it me, or did Trumpeter actually get the shape right?? If they did, it would be from sheer luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReccePhreak Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Always wanted to do one with the gun installed - any idea if this is included? AFAIK, the 2-seater never carried the gun. But then why should that stop Trumpy from including one. Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Trumpeter is never ever stopped or challenged by reality. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Can't be as bad as the KH Mig 25. Really? We're talking about Trumpeter here. It's *entirely* possible that it's as bad or worse. My bet is that they simply copied the shapes of the Monogram kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) Really? We're talking about Trumpeter here. It's *entirely* possible that it's as bad or worse. My bet is that they simply copied the shapes of the Monogram kit. Would that be a negative? From all I have heard, the Monogram kit is pretty decent, minus the raised panel lines. Sure hope they don't botch this one, I've been waiting a long time (should clarify that I only want the single-seater so I'll be waiting even longer than the rest of you). Welcome back Jennings.

Ben Brown Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Yes sorry about that. I was just listing all of the parts you can use from their F-100 kits to add to the much better Monogram Hun. You can probably find more of my mindless rantings about the Trump Huns if you search F-100 along with my name. :-) And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming....

Vince Maddux Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 It's all good Ben. I have read what you've said about the Trumpy F-100 and you have saved me a lot of money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imatt88 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Well, it figures, I'm halfway done with my C&H conversion and I have the old Falcon conversion as well. I for one, am glad that a mainstream "B" is coming out. I just wish it was in 32nd scale Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinxter13 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 wonder how it'll compare to the verlinden resin conversion set?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scorvi Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I am sure it is a copy of the Monogram kit--big savings on research. They prob. built up a C& H covnerison with a Mongram to get the master-_we can only hope. The F-106 served with the USAF Air Defense Command (ADC), Tactical Air Command (TAC), and Air National Guard (ANG). As far as I know and I was up in one as a kid--Dad sneaked me in one back in the day when you could do such things-early 70's USAF. I think they only had the AIR-2A Genie air to-air nuclear tipped rocket & AIM-4 Falcon air-to-air missiles? The cannon wen on later during "Project six-Shooter" around 1972. They deleted the Geniies but allowed fro FAlcons and Cannon mounting--Probably from all the backlash in Nam and to make all aircraft Air-to Air capable-vis-a-vis Dogfighting! Just a quick history off the top of my head. I am looking forward to this one. Looks like all we need now to copelte the Century series is a new tool F-102!?!?! I built all the Monograms 1/48 Centuries ina series of aricles fro SAMi from 1999-2002..Theya re nice builds but do require some work > Here is my Hobbypoopoo -Mongram Hybrid F-105D: Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scorvi Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 ...True but if you look at Hobbybosses track record and what they have released...There best kits are copies of other kits: FJ-4B F3H etc... so I am thinking this maybe the same thing--of course this is wishful thinking of course I could of course be wrong but it is determined by the companies past actions. Lets hope it is correct and ready to go. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I am sure it is a copy of the Monogram kit--big savings on research. Based on? I am not aware of trumpeter ever copying, other than the zacto parts. Well, and the really really early trumpeter where they copied acad's Su-27. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scorvi Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I have both Hobbyboss FJ-4B and the Grand Phoenix right here sand the parts are very compatible. All the resin fits in the kit with very little or none retrofitting. The fuselage and wing parts are pretty close in outline. The Demon was the same way. It was discussed a few times on HS, Britmodeler and ARC so I don't think this is news to anyone? I like and build Hobbyboss kits so I don't think this is a bad thing if they are copying a good source and most of the R-M kits are pretty good just need some tweaking with fit and panel lines. ESp. sicne theya don't seems to be working from a 3-D CAD model so it is just a guess of course . It sia guess I would like to be true since then the F-106 would be reptt accurate in outline and with nice new tolling it would be a very nice kit? Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scorvi Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I know Hobbyboss and Trumpeter are dif. companies but don't they share molding tech. and stuff? The companies in same industrial park?? This thread seems to clarify the relationship between Trumpeter and Hobbyboss?? http://www.network54.com/Forum/149674/thread/1309959154/Trumpeter+and+HobbyBoss's+relationship....
