UKPonchoMan Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 THAT'LL upset all those on ebay selling the original AMT/ERTL kit for $100+! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Hingtgen Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Not really---with how insanely high the Trek releases were versus their previous MSRP, there won't be much difference. 3x original retail would be about 100 bucks... (Of course, mine's for sale, but I did remove the largest 6 parts or so from the sprues--but I'll never build it so might as well try to get something for it) PS---why oh why can't we get a nice new 1/144 or 1/200 kit of this?

Think they'll struggle to justify that - Heller re-released the KC-135 here for £23 which killed the 2nd hand market for KC-135s. Not that I can complain - I bought my XB-70 for £10 brand new (!!) Realistically, it needs to be in the £25-£30 range ($50-$60) since all they're doing is releasing the original moulds... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MiG31 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 How about asking Collect-Aire for a special order of six YJ-93 exhausts from the XF-108 kit? That's probably your closest bet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) Two sets of Aires J-79...sorry...more needed! 3 sets! All Hasegawa 1/72nd Phantoms come with both the short F-4B etc. style and the longer F-4E etc. style J79 burner cans... You could try in the marketplace segment of this site if someone can help you out (I've got no idea which version would be applicable to the XB-70, tho').
