Trumpeter 1/32 Swordfish

[Venganza]

I don't know if anybody else has seen this, but the Trumpeter 1/32 Swordfish is listed as a new item on Hannants' website for 52.16 pounds sterling (export), or 59.98 in the EU. Check it out! I don't know if I should just buy it now or wait for the reviews.

At that price, wouldn't hurt to wait for a review....could be a real good kit...on the other hand it may not!

Had one of these models ( not Trumpeter ) years ago when i was a kid beautiful model a real classic

Hmm. Having seen some of the fit and inaccuracy issues with many Trumpeter kits, which are not cheap, I think I'd wait and see first. Fortunately, BB has one on the way, so that should help!
I think any fit problems with this aircraft type could seriously affect its construction, and the look of the finished model, due to the design, and especially the fact that it's a biplane.
Having said that, if any problems are minor, it should be a very impressive model when completed. And bl**dy big!

Thank you for the link, Wayne! The kit looks very nice and unless the fit is atrocious, I think I need to start saving up for one. However, I think I will wait for badbear's impressions before plunking down my money for one.
