recon Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I understand one of the Wildcats had shape issues. Which one was it? I am looking to getting one. Mike 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HubertB Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 In short : the very early (i.e. first production batches) -4 kits were seriously flawed, and sold mostly on Asian markets. The US importer managed to get retooling done to correct the serious shape errors. So, in theory any US- and European-sold -4 version should be Ok, and among their best. No issue whatsoever to fear with the -3 versions, whether early or late. HTH Hubert 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Would have been nice if Trumpeter would go back and re-tool some of their other major kit flaws. A-7 Corsair’s come to mind as their worst. Looking at my build using the Zacto correction vs. an out of box kit build is a real eye opener. I keep reading that the A-10 also has front fuselage issues. Too wide? Paul Fisher was working on a correction when his world fell apart. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Martin and Hubert thanks so much for the information and links. Trumpeter surely should be thanked for biting the bullet and correcting the Wildcat issues. Keep ‘em comin Peter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
