Can you point out the problems on the Trumpeter kit?

Hello Mike! I just finished the nice Revell 1/48 kit. Do you know what are the problems with the Trumpeter 1/32 kit. I've seen one built on another site and sprue shots but It's really hard to tell what's wrong from there.
I saw on a kit release list that Revell is re-releasing the EF Typhoon in October 2009. Not sure if there will be any upgrades but I had read somewhere that the original issue was a pre-production version. Still probably cheaper than the Trump kit.
The Trump Typhoon has loads of problems in shape and detail.
The Revell kit is nor out for a few months but looks to be pretty much a scale up of there very good 1/48 kit. And in the UK the MRP is only £49 compared to £95 for the Trump kit.
I would wait for the Revell version but stock up the Two Bobs sheets while you can they are really nice.

Appears to be more accurate in outline, better detail, better decals. Is half the price (£50 vs £100, and produced in a civilised country by fairly-paid workers.
