Anybody have a quick list of the major short comings (meaning it's obvious from casual observation) of the Trumpeter Thunderchief kit? I know Quick Boost did a replacement for the ventral fin & nose cone. A cyber buddy was looking to replace the tail by cutting a replacement off the Monogram kit. All this made me wonder if anybody has a punch list or knows a link that reveals all. My Google foo has proven embarrassing weak on this quest. As always, TIA! |

The tail thing reminded me... it's the vertical stab, but off hand I can't remember which kit has the problem... either the D has the too thick (in chord) tail of the F/G or the F/G's have the too thin tail of the D models. That's one issue I remember hearing about. I have never bought them, preferring to stick with the old RM ones. |
