Model Forum / General / Models / November 2007Academy 1/72 B-24's How Old Are They ?
Saw a few versions at my local shop. Some come with posters of the great box art. Anyone know how old the kits are? Wondering if the great nose art decals that caught my eye will be usable.. thx - Craig On Nov 17, 10:58�am, "cr...@earthlink.net" <cr...@earthlink.net> wrote: > Saw a few versions at my local shop. �Some come with posters of the > great box art.

I've got Leo and Gemini. I think there were Aquarius and Libra as well. Surprised to see them still on shelves.The line of B-24's came out before that. I'm going to say early nineties. I'd have to dig through the catalog files to nail it down and there's an impending crapalanche brewing over there. I don't think you'd have a problem with the decals. If in doubt, get some MicroScale Decal Film and overcoat. The Academy/Minicraft B-24's are the most accurate available. hth The Keeper > On Nov 17, 10:58�am, "cr...@earthlink.net" <cr...@earthlink.net> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > hth > The Keeper Can't get to the boxes of Academy kits at the moment, so I dug through the files. I have a kit review of the Academy B-24D dated April, 1991. That sounds right. IIRC the B-24J in "Dragon and His Tail" markings came out about the same time.Having flown and flown in the Collings B-24 both before and during her time with this wonderful color scheme, this made to to the top of my favorites list. Now to find decals in 1/72 for "Nine-O-Nine". Until then I need to find the Corgi diecast with those markings. Already have their B-24 in "Dragon..." markings. Tom |
