looks like a shrunk down version of their 350 scale issue. Tail markings on the Phantoms are the same. The big version was the kit I think I had the most fun building. It is still one of my favorite builds, and I often go and stare at it for a while.

I agree, Steve...at least right now without the complete kit details! I guess we'll have to wait a little while to find out for sure...

Hi Guys!

Actually this model isn't a shrunk version of a 1/350 model, but the result of a co-operation with PitRoad

This looks as good as any Pitroad model and it will reach us cheap

Pit Road's decision to team up with Trumpeter is possibly one of the best things to have happened to us 700 scale enthusiasts! Quality wise,.... no one beats Pit-Road, and with Trumpeter's massive manufacturing assets available to produce a multitude of kits, we now only wait a few months between releases (as opposed to the old... one release every year from Pit-Road).
