1/144 R-4360 Wasp Major resin engines

[Mike Esposito]

Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a resin replacement for a 1/144 R-4360 Wasp Major engine out there?

 

I'm looking to bud a KC-97 and the minicraft kit engines are devoid of details.

I believe Cobra Company once offered a KC-97/Boeing Stratocruiser "upgrade" set of resin parts for this kit. However, Cobra Company recently sold all its masters and patterns to Lone Star Models of Texas. Lone Star has plans to put the entire Cobra line back in production, but I don't know if the KC-97 set is available just yet. See here for details: http://www.lonestarmodels.com/Cobra-Company.html

Thanks. I thought Lone Star was out of business.

Definitely not. He TEMPORARILY closes down in the fall when deer hunting season comes around, and announces this TEMPORARY closing every year. I think he also posts a notice to this effect on his web site. But he is NOT REPEAT NOT out of business!

 

I trust i have made my point! :-)
