Vince Maddux Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I guess I'll get a couple of them, one to see how close I can make it into a A-37 and the other to see how close I can make it into a T-37! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

K5054NZ Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 That's something I enjoy about forums: a new kit is shown (for the first time?) and various folk point out the inaccuracies, then someone who has/had involvement with the real article comes along and says it's not so bad....the nit-picking seems to dry up It looks like a pretty good representation of an A-37. I probably won't get one myself, but I'm sure others will be happy to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

11bee Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Why not build a T-37 for once?!! There is no way you could replicate the awesomeness of the Tweet in plastic. The bar is set way too high for this subject. Be happy with the new A-37. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winnie Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 the BIG question is will Trumpeter have replicated the Garmin 3/496 GPS on the glareshield?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 hoping someone will do a resin replacement for the refueling probe. What about a resin replacement for the rest of the kit while they're at it. No major advance over the 25 year old Monogram kit whatsoever that I can see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 The Trumpeter kit certainly has some issues, but they don't look like they're unfixable. I would most likely be buying the kit. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Laurent Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) In New Jersey, ahead of Lucky Model?????? Trumpeter and Hobby Boss produce for the export market essentially. The Super Tucano arrived initially in Squadron then, a number of weeks later, in Lucky Model. Edited June 12, 2014 by Laurent Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pep Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I got mine yesterday. It's Legit. Side note. My kit arrived damaged but it was USPS's Fault. the box was wet and crushed. I contacted mega Hobby and they are sending me a new one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gene K Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I got mine yesterday. It's Legit. Excellent! What's your initial impression? Gene K Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pep Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Mi haven't been able to give it a thorough inspection but aside from it having recessed panel lines, I don't see a bit improvement over the revelogram. Also this is the A version so it does not include the IFR probe and the nose tip is different. I'm going to try fitting the encore resins and PE into it see how the fit is.

echolmberg Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I like most anything with straight wings. I like the A-37 and I think it's commendable that Trumpeter came out with a newly tooled one. I have not seen their kit up close so I can only hope that it's a fair representation of the A-37. If it is, then great. If it's riddled with flaws, then that's too bad. I hope there's more good about it than bad. I think I saw it available for something like $46 (give or take) if I'm not mistaken. It's great if you can swing it but, all in all, I'm so glad I picked up the Monogram kit for $10 last month. Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vince Maddux Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Instructions are up: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10268960 Jari with a few exceptions it looks like its got the same break down as the Monogram kit. I guess there was no reason to re-invent the wheel here. I noticed the lack of the refueling prob, but I'm sure there will be another boxing with it in it. I don't like the fact the antenna hump is molded on the spine, I would ave liked it to be separate. But it looks nice and I may get one. But I'm not going to stop buying the Monogram kit either.

11bee Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 In-box review A-37 review Stephen Aside from the pictures, there is absolutely nothing of use in this "review". I wish Cybermodeler would step up their game just a bit. Probably a silly question - I'm much more interested in the T-37, than the A-37A which only saw very limited production. How involved would it be to convert this kit to a T-37? I know you'd have to cut off the tip tanks, fabricate new wingtips, remove the minigun ports and sand away that antenna "hump" on the top of the fuselage but is that it? Of course as soon as I were to finish, Trumpy would have a T-37 kit on the street. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So...what are you waiting for? Get on it already. The sooner you start the sooner those of us in the market for an OOB T-37 will have one ! Just kidding of course... :lol: Cheers!

Gene K Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I wish Cybermodeler would step up their game just a bit. Michael runs a great web site, but I don't recall him meeting any sponsored kit that he hasn't liked. He's excellent for social introductions, but the actual dance takes place here.
