I just got a flyer for this today... looks cool but I wonder how it will compare to the already been done trumpeter version? It will be under the Merit International name brand

They are also doing 4 sets of planes as separate items... so I wonder what the kit will include.

They told me the price will be announced soon.

And by the way... the shipment that this was included with was the new AFV Guppy subs... they are finally here!





Thank you,

Just judging by those shots,it doesn't look too detailed,a little clunky,not as good as the Trumpeter,or the same,but definitely not better.Any price?

No price yet..... I am thinking it is just a re-boxed trumpy kit as well... we will just have to wait for the price and see I guess

I have not heard anything about that one. Several builders I know are monster carrier fans and they have said nothing, so...I guess we shall have to wait and see.
