One of the recently announced aviation kits which really generated a great deal of expectation, was that Trumpeter would be doing a Condor in /48th scale. Now, after much waiting, the first images of this (very) large kit can be seen:

I saw this kit and it was really HUGE! My local IPMS, IPMS-P BA has a review on it

Hi Jim
The Condor hit the streets in the UK this week - £49-95. It does look good - but I'm not sure about the surface finish... there are some very oversize "rivets" even in the box-shots.
This is one I probably won't review... even for the sake of Armorama, I simply can't justify paying out that sort of cash for a kit I've no room to build.
All the best
