Regarding the just upcumming new kit from Trumpeter I found this post:

….. “When I opened the box, I was a little surprised at the fuselage. While I am no expert on contemporary Chinese combat aircraft, I thought the fuselage looked a little short in length against the graceful lines depicted on the box art. A quick check on the internet revealed that the FBC-1 has a fuselage length of 21 meters (though some sites claim around 22 meters), or translated into 1/72 scale, about 11.5″. A quick check of with my handy ruler reveals a length of only 10.5″. No wonder it looks a little stubby. Markings are included with optional numbers to represent any number of aircraft in the inventory.” …….
Does anyone have accurate dimensions and can tell me something about the “short fuselage” !!??
Thanks and best regards, Deino 🙂
