I haven't but did build a Tamiya KT years ago. That was lacking interior details which
look very impressive on the Trumpter. I found an interesting build which might give you
an idea as to what you in for... :shock: Nice looking kit.

Reminds me of the Wingnuts 1/32 Lancaster. How much of that are you going to be able to see once the kit is completely assembled even if you can open some hatches? Is it the challenge of the build or just the satisfaction of knowing it's there? :?

I just wanted a large King Tiger. I couldnt afford one of Matthews then and I doubt he has any left so this is my only option.
