Gary,
Thanks for an excellent review that focused on surface details. Being a Trumpeter kit, I was hoping that you would have done a little dry fitting, as they're kits have been prone to fit issues.

Good review, luv the background jet sound effects. Living near Luke AFB and Phoenix Sky Harbor approach I can relate.

Cheers

Just one question for both of you, doesn't all that Jet noise become a major issue especially at night when everyone is trying to just relax, watch tv/movie, be online, model, or even sleep?

Mine are not as noisy as Gary's are on his video. Actually I don't mind it. To me it is relaxing to know they are up there and buzzing around if you know what I mean

Cheers
