Fighting Eighty-Four Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I just noticed a 1/48 J-20 has been added to the 2019 Trumpeter/Hobby Boss catalog under the Trumpeter brand. Now, I know it can take some time (years?) before their announced kits hit the market, but I for one am pretty excited for this one. https://www.facebook.com/TrumpeterModel/photos/pcb.1159171700908088/1159166230908635/?type=3&theater Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flybywire Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I've been waiting for this one since they released their 1/72 version..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Djack Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 That is awesome to see. I will be getting that indeed! Also, as I was scrolling through, saw Hobby Boss has a 1/48 MV-22 Osprey listed (even though they have a CV-22 pictured) That'll be nice! David Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Matt Foley Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I'll watch for this one. I wonder if Trumpy will do a decent job or just make it "good enough" like most of the HobbyBoss Trumpeter line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deino Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 By the way has anyone seen the J-20 LRIP variant in 1/72 built?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxmulder_ms Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I will buy couple of these, hope it will be a nice model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BraggPeak Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Here is a open box video https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1WD4y1D7YG, from other photos I have seen, it is not a really good kit. Most of the complains are: there is no detail on the engine exhaust, not even comparable to their own 1/72 kit, 2) several errors on the fuselage, the EOTS at the bottom of cockpit is a solid plastic, one step back from the clear plastic part for EOTS in the 1/72 kit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ijozic Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 From skimming over the video, it looks like an upscaled 1/72 kit detail-wise. I'll still get one, though, hope the price will be set accordingly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salomon Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 So we'll need some more after market to have a detailling cockpit, engine, wheels etc, etc. I'm waiting for this kit but sorry, I won't buy it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good to see pics of the kit, in a rapid fire kinda way, but it DOES look interesting! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flybywire Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Does anyone have any idea where to find (if any been produced) the 1/48 scale of the decal sheet on the Trumpeter 1/72 J-20 "Black Ribbon" kit #1663? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CWILL1117 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) Apparently the jet is now for sale. I looked on Taobao and I see the 1/48 J-20 from a buyer I’ve bought from. Edited June 9, 2020 by CWILL1117 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flybywire Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I'm not sure if you're responding directly to my inquiry or not, but I'm just looking for the aftermarket 1/48 decal sheet of the "Black Ribbon". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am not sure what kind of decal you are looking for. To be honest, these 5th gen jet fighters don't have as much decals as those on 4th gen jet fighters. There is no aftermarket 1/48 decal sheet for J-20 so far, the closest I can find is the low visibility insignia of PLAAF in 1/48 scale Quote Link to post Share on other sites
