I know a few guys that will choke out their AM coffee when they see the Intruder! They have been waiting 2 or more years for it.

I knew about the Chinook, but had no idea of the Intruder!!!

I knew they were doing an A-7, but had no idea on the A-6.

Heck a couple of more releases and Trumpeter will have a complete Carrier Air Wing!!!

Is it just me or is the Chinook looking rather smallish compared to the A-6? There's not a big difference in scale though...

I hear they are also releasing a MIG-29K with folding wings, nice! Love the Intruder, that is going to be one big plane. I would like to know where the Harrier is?????????...it was announced in Fine Scale Modeler Magazine back when the F-105's were announced, have not seen or heard anything else about it.
