afspret Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I got my new Minicraft B-52D/F kits in the mail yesterday and the package included a flyer from Minicraft showing some of their old and new and future release kits. Among the things in 1/144th scale that caught my eye was a new tooled B-29 (which hopefully addresses the badly shaped vertical tail), a KB-29 Tanker, some different versions of the EC & RC-135 and a combo kit with a KC-135 and a B-52D/F. But what really caught my eye was their plans to release a 1/144th scale B-50A, an aircraft which has been ignored other kit makers. I know, there was the 1/72nd scale Academy kit, but it's been long OOP and pricy if found on line (at least the ones I've come across). So all in all, the future looks pretty good for Minicraft.

southwestforests Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 They have a 1/144 F-4E/F; I could use a pair of F-4B or J. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
afspret Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 I'm at work and don't have the flyer with me, but I'll check when I get home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
afspret Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Nope no F-4B or J, just the F-4E/F kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Yesterday I had gone and looked at their website, both the 1/144 and New Release pages. https://minicraftmodels.com/collections/1-144-aircraft Quote Link to post Share on other sites

southwestforests Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 No - I'm not in to this enough to know there is Tomytech. A year or two ago I did some searching for the F-4 flavors I want but didn't come across some. So apparently I missed something. Also, wanting styrene and not resin.

Charlie D. Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Would love to see a 1/144 B-50. I can then scratch my plans to bash a kc-97 and b-29! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Brown Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) A 1/144 B-50 would be nice! Ben Edited December 1, 2017 by Ben Brown Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I like the KC-135/B-52 combo idea. Jonah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
