Caerbannog Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Lets hope they do not mess it up. It could save me from rescribing my Italeri TRs. Early U-2s and SR-71 family would be great. Rene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antoine Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Good news, as Ibelieve the U-2R were used by the Black Cats. I also believe that it's the main reason for HB to release this kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Could be interesting ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony.t Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I'd rather have a ladder gantry and howdah shade for the U-2R than a whole J75 engine — which, given the U-2S release in parallel, is not beyond the bounds of possibility. Nice shelf companion for the Revell Habu. Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIM REAPER Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I've been waiting for this to come out for a good while, now. Now that they released the earlier versions first, hopefully they go ahead and release these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
