BlrwestSiR Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I know a couple members ( @ScottsGT at least) on here have built the Fisher A-1E conversion and was wondering what's the best base kit to start with. The instructions suggest any of the 3 Trumpeter kits but is one better than the other? Thanks, Carl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I used the A-1J for my build. I didn’t have any problems. It builds up into a really great looking model! Mike 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Any of the three will work. All the usable parts are the same. When I built mine there was a shortage of the kits. Took me a while to get my hands on one. Typical of my luck. Go for the lowest cost kit you can find. Im pretty sure I used the AD-4 boxing with the sea blue plane on the front. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 Thanks Scott. One of the Canadian online shops has all three in stock and they're on sale for $81 CAD each. So around $60 US. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I’d pick out one with the underwing bombs and stuff you want to use or keep as spares. That’s a great price on those kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 @intheway, it's Great Hobbies. They're $89.99 and they had a 10% off sale on the weekend. Plus spend $99 and get free shipping. Most folks think of Great Hobbies as an RC ship hut they carry a lot of models too. Carl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their Mississauga store is about a 40 min drive from me. Wheels and Wings is closer so that's my usual go-to shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
