Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone has any news on the kit yet? I pre-ordered mine and was wondering if there are any pictures of the kit or some good reference online.
Thanks,
Ray

I understand your eager anticipation. There have been some rather lengthy and heated discussions this kit on other sites, but to quote one of the posters “we are comparing pictures to pictures, no one has got there hands on one yet to do a review”.
I did get the opportunity to see the test shots at the Hobby Visions show in Las Vegas last October. Suffice it to say it’s big, it looks like a Vigilante and oh yes it ain’t cheap. One competitor to Trumpeter said “I don’t know why they brought it out. It was a short lived aircraft, basically one paint scheme, no major variants”. I personally don’t find any of those things to be detractors. I like to build short run aircraft and prototypes.
When yours does arrive it would be great if you’d give us all a review.

Sort lived aircraft or not, the really is not any other aircraft that would drop a nuclear missile out between two jet engines!
This will be an interesting build and a much needed model.
