In order nearest to farthest: Sword, Wolfpack, Trumpeter. So far they have required some filling and sanding, but that is probably due to the fact that they will be all closed up so getting the gears doors smooth has been a trouble spot. The Trumpeter kit is a bit longer but you wont notice unless you set them side by side.

Hi Geoff, nice project you have there. What kind of c/s are you making? Three similar ones or al different? I'm also building the Wolfpack Talon, a very nice kit to build. Succes with your Talon threesome! 👍

I have yet to design a display stand. They are all going to mounted on one stand, each mounted a little different from the other for visual interest. Getting ready to start working on the pilots. Robbed 6 guys from some Hasegawa and Academy F-4s.

Color schemes are going to be possibly all 3 white, or possibly 1 in Thunderbird markings.
