snapper_city Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 That's the trio of US bombers. I wonder what they will announce next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Dick Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Do not get too excited about these Modelcollect releases - having a look at the photos of their V1 Flying bomb in 1/72 - (if the same research team is responsible for all their aircraft related products) it will be a Mickey Mouse release (something that vaguely resembles the aircraft but is so inaccurate to scale that it is not worth acquiring) a cartoon rendition if you will!

Robertone139 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Rather check their B-52 and B-2 new release threads, they seem to be working hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so it begins! With the kit not yet released and, based on photos which may not even be of the final, finished article but just an early test shot, you are prepared to condemn the B-1 (and their other aircraft kits) as worthless?. If, on the other hand the research team is the same one that designs their armour kits then we are in for a treat. Allan ps, for what it is worth, even I with my addled vision accept that there is something not quite right with the V-1 model in the photo. I will not however pre judge an entire range based on that. Edited December 25, 2016 by Albeback52 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can live with the existing B-47 and B-36 kits, but 100% agree that a new tool B-45 is more than overdue. I have the Mach 2 kit and it is very very rough. Like an early Amodel kit really. Lots of interesting service stories around these from the early Cold War era. Long overdue for a re-tool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIM REAPER Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Very ambitious schedule. Nice to see the heavies getting some new found love. Although 1/72 isn't my scale, I'll definitaly be picking up one of these when it is released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well of course I am - firstly it is not Airfix, secondly Modelcollect are not in financial trouble like Hornby that we know of - so it is open season! No seriously, all I am saying is do not get too excited! Edited December 25, 2016 by Uncle Dick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Callahan Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I too would be early in line for a B-45. I will likely pick up the B-2 and B-52, put I've already built a Monogram B-1 and might give that one a skip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apex Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Guys, if you think there are accuracy issues, please let Modelcollect know about them. This benefits everyone. Really, they do listen to feedback and they do fix issues. The B-2A already went through redesign because people commented on their FB page. And the T-90 was already released and it also went through redesign and new molds. They sent me the redesigned T-90A kit for free. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I'm not excited but, for a different reason. If the B-2 & B-52 are any guide, then the B-1B will be equally unaffordable!. On the other hand, my partner is already looking for gift ideas for my 60th! She might be persuaded if I make a contribution.............!!!

LanceB Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Thanks Uncle Dick, had not seen that. All I shall say is "ouch". Well, it still looks more realistic that the E-100 launch vehicle kit! If that was even an actual plan, it must have been thought up by a treadhead who did not understand how pulsejets work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Dick Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Yes after all that - I ended up buying the Modelcollect V1 (I am just the model junkie and cannot resist a hit - pun intended), probably end up buying the B-1 as well and B-52 as soon as UnLucky Model put on their $2 shipping sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Any word when this is actually coming out? Hoping it’s release makes it easier to get a Revell/monogram one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick231 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with this kit, I may even consider selling my Airfix 72nd B-1 in an effort to fund part of it!

Nocoolname Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Another one that has gone alarmingly quiet. Has this risen from oblivion or fallen back into the depths of the 'maybe's'? Any news would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USAJustin Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Boy I hope they get this one right, would love to have an accurate B-1B, I hope they tone down the panel lines and make sure to add all the antennas and bumps, I didn't build the B-52 but heard it was missing a lot of those details. I did build the B-2, it was a bit of a bear to build, but in the end it turned out really nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicardoD Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 For one moment, for just one moment, I confused the scale with the thread above this at first glance and thought this was in "1/32" !! Anyways, it is still good news, the kit will be a big enough one and I hope it comes as a very accurate Bone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
