saw this on an upcoming model list.
anyone know how much of the plane will be visible? For $70 or so I hope that she is pretty close to naked.

Not seen anything about it, but it would have to match the Tamiya clear edition I would have thought as far as letting it hang out goes. Hopefully it wont have the Tamiya's ejector pin marks on the inside of the fuselage halves. Anyway, what are they doing messing about with that? shouldn't they be concentrating on getting that 1/32 EE Lightning onto the shelves?
There are pictures of it on Trumpeters website. It is 1/32 scale so it's not "borrowed" from Tamiya. It certainly looks interesting, especially in that large scale.
The initial release had the engine housings in clear, so I suspect they will just add a clear fuselage sprue.
Their new P-51B kit comes with both fuselage halves in clear and colored plastic.

You can get a pretty fair idea from this:
I'll settle for having the 1/72 versions released tomorrow.
Oh... and while Trumpeter is in the mood for Brit jets, how about a Scimitar, Swift, Javelin and Buccaneer?
A visible Buccaneer would be interesting for the bomb bay alone.

A B-2 might be interesting ........... It would be a visible / invisible(:>
A Venom FB1 or 4 would be nice too. It need only be visible on the model shop shelf. Perhaps Xtrakit will make one to go with their Vampire FB5.

Well, there's sort of a visible one on Guam at the moment:
Reuters doesn't like my ancient Netscape so they won't let me look. Phooey.
