Hey Doug, I'm a little slow here. I have the Trump 1/32 kit and been told there are some errors about the intake/rad thingie, but how does a new spinner/prop set correct these issues as you say in the new item article...?

Cheers,

Unfortunately, the entire nose is too short, small and pointy (the rest of the kit except the wheel spats matches the plans perfectly). You can see in this photo of the new spinner (which is the correct size) that the nose of the Trumpeter kit is a bit too "pointy" and undersized:



The prop blades on the Trumpeter kit are also approximately 6.1mm too short as well. If you're interested, you can read more about it in my review of the Trumpeter kit here:

Hope this answers your question!

Doug
