Dunelimo Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hannants is showing a new Minicraft b777 Wonder if it's new tooling or maybe a 300 version ? The cost is expensive so I would think at least new tooling Description: Boeing 777 (Livery TBD) Manufacturer: Minicraft Code Number: MC14706 Scale: 1:144 Scale Item type: Aircraft kits (injection) Price: Pounds 33.33 AUS $61.81 Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Sorry to put a dampener on you optimism but I suspect it will be a new decal option with the same old plastic. Minicraft has just re-released their B757 as an all white C-32. Do you think they have retooled it? RRP is US$39.95 I would say no. http://minicraftmodels.com/products/14695-1-144-c-97-usaf-mats-w-2-options Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is a slow trickle of Minicraft making it over this side of the rock, though the Mariner will not make it through the normal channels as the importer was going to charge double Minicraft's RRP over here and deemed it impractical to bring it in. The LHS has a nice smattering of DC-8s, 707s and 727s though they are around the $50 - $70 mark. I am not overly concerned as I still have a couple of older issue 777s to keep me happy Edited February 17, 2014 by Trojan Thunder Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dunelimo Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) I can tell you with 100% certainty that it's the same tooling as before. Then it seems like a BIG price hike for just a change of decal, make's me wonder if any of the buying public will inbrace it and part with there cash Mike Edited February 19, 2014 by Dunelimo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
