Zactoman Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 well im suprised you said that since its trumpeter who's kepping you in busines? :lol: I have bigger and better things planned than fixing others' mistakes... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jefropas Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'd love a 32nd F-8 from anyone, but I wouldn't hold my breath for Hasegawa to make it, they haven't made a newer 32nd scale jet for what seems like an eternity. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timvkampen Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) I think Hasegawa is not gonna come up with a 1/32 Crusader. My bet is Trumpeter. And let's hold our breath then that they tackle the variable incidence wing and the intake. Tim Edited January 10, 2006 by Timvkampen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timvkampen Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 Just received my Trumpeter A-7E....nice...the deficiencies are do-able...and the aftermarket guys will hit us soon I think for the intake/cockpit (besides BB). So what has the preference within the (Vought) Crusader fan community? Does Hasegawa have to amaze us, Tamiya, Academy or Trumpeter? HTH, Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
motion 2 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I'd like to see Academy step up to the Crusader challenge. I don't see Hasegawa coming out with a 'new' kit in 1/32. Tamiya, of course, but the price would be $$$$!! I would like Trumpeter to come out with the kits they have promised,ie; F-100, A-6, etc, and then release an F9F-5 and -8. My two cents worth. I am supposed to get my BB cockpit today for my A-7, so may post pix tonite of the components. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does Hasegawa have to amaze us, Tamiya, Academy or Trumpeter? HTH, Tim Hi all here my 2 cents... I would be very happy with Hasegawa, correct shape, no useless gimicks, easy to built and reasonably priced! I would be very happy with Tamiya, correct shape, wonderful details, shake and bake fit...but expensive! I can not quote on Academy since I have not built a 1/32 scale model from them so far... ...but it will be Trumpeter, since they are going to be the only ones who accept the challange...a lot of work! cheers Uwe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timvkampen Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 Well Uwe, I think you are probably right. Still i am hoping a little bit that Tamiya will surprise us like they did with the wonderful Douglas Skyray! Well i'll keep on dreaming... good news is that Fisher models will release an interesting plane: a hawker seafury in 1/32. Awesome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vandy 1 vx4 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 You have my vote for a 1/32 Crusader. I do not care who makes it, Just make one :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timvkampen Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 I took a look at my 1/32 Trumpeter A-7E and i am inmpressed when i compare it to Academy. My preference for a 1/32 Crusader (Crouze) ould be: 1) Tamiya 2) Trumpeter 3) Academy 4) Hasegawa and of course a couple of pics from my fault (see beginning thread and this post)..

Impatient Pete Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 OK, just kidding. Some of you will remember this project from before. I too hope someone will make a nice 1/32 Crusader. Even though it will mean that all of my hard work was for nothing. Well, I suppose that if I just finish this thing, it will hasten the impending release of one in plastic. The only problem is, I am in school now, and nothing is getting done for two more years at least! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timvkampen Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 nice job. What brand is it? Or is it completely scratchbuild? Hope the forums are watched by the manufacturers....you're contribution will definitely help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dimosthenis Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I'm staying away from 1/32 for the moment due to space considerations, but a 1/32 Crusader could change all that... ;) @Timvkampen: you wouldn't have any info/pictures on VF-53 birds from the 1968 cruise (ecpecially NF204), would you?

Timvkampen Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 i don't have a pic of that bird yet. let you know if i succeed. :D But this can ease things a little... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timvkampen Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 hi all, Even though I'm lobbying for the F-8 i was wondering what the latest news is on the A-6 by Trumpeter in the 1/32 scale?? Does anyone know the status of this kit? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timvkampen Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hi all, I thought it'd be appropriate to revive this thread since I started it March last year. As we know, Trumpeter has stepped up to the plate for the F-8E in 1/32 scale. OF course we have to be patient but it'll be a big seller - as will be the F-100D. My question to you all: which is the better dogfighter. The F-8 or its follow-up the F-14? regards, Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imatt88 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I would love to see a 32nd scale F-8, but I would also love to have a 32nd scale Duece or Six to add to my collection, While we are on the subject, how about some 32nd scale Russian/Soviet/CIS stuff other than MiGs.... Floggers, Fitters, Shturmovicks....etc, etc, etc......know what I mean? Cheers, Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
