Vidar 710 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I just received my 1/144 Roden Boeing 720, and it is a Beautiful kit! I was wondering if anyone knew if they were going to release a Boeing 707. The Minicraft kit is terrible and I was hoping Roden was going to take up the slack.

Jennings Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 They haven't announced any such kit, but in any event, with all its many problems, the Roden 720 isn't a huge improvement over the MC 707. Just different problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PMG Offramp Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 the Roden 720 isn't a huge improvement over the MC 707. How could Roden's 720 be an improvement over Minicraft's 707 ? I thought a 720 was a whole different animal than a 707, that they were cousins at best ? I'm sure I read that from you in another topic... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Well I'm fairly certain the two share a whole lot of features. Is that hard to see? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vidar 710 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 720 has the same fuselage, just shorter. Different wings all together, and the engines vary. Kit-wise, the Roden kit has a much better engine to wing junction fit than the absolutely HORIBLE fit of the engines on the Minicraft kits. The wings, stabs, and tail trailing edges are nicely thinned. I would really like to see them come out with a 707-320 so I can $h!t-can the Minicraft kit I have. I even bought aftermarket engines for it hoping the fit to the wing issue would be resolved - but no such luck. Tracy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
