The picture is too small, i can't see anything. :)

Fordboy SAID
Hi sbs Yip I know the images are not the largest however sometimes I have to work with the images supplied and sadly the primitive image tools I currently have access too whilst they can certainly enlarge the image they also sadly alter quality and clarity of the image. Hopefully the images do enable you to get a small insight into this kitset. Cheers Sean

My my, I may have jumped the gun on this one. I went ahead and pre-ordered the Trumpeter version which will I am sure be more expensive. I see by the pix that academy is including brass with railings and radar and some what have yous .

TracyWhite SAID
Not to steal Sean's thunder but Academy now has photos of a built-up on their site.

gator SAID
Thanks for the heads up Tracy.

JMartine SAID
At GreatModels, Trump's version is 2x the price of academy. I wonder, why the vast (2x) difference? A matter of Trump's pricing policy, or better quality? Or Academy pricing low to gain market share?
