PhantomBigStu Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Would have been all over this in the past, but with the Revell 1/72 in my wardrobe I can’t muster any enthusiasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k5054nz Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Not such violent shades, though! 😁 Their MCP F-4 was in grey, white and black from memory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Esposito Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Looking forward to this one. Beautiful aircraft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky coffeeboat Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) I will be all over this as I have the 1/48 Revell and nowhere to build let alone display the finished model, so I'll definitely be able to muster the enthusiasm to tackle this. Good stuff! Jeff Edited December 16, 2018 by pinky coffeeboat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewvft Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Hi, While trying to look for this on HLJ, they have one by Doyusha coming in May and looks the same. Are Academy and Doyusha the same brands? https://hlj.com/1-144-scale-usaf-b-1b-lancer-dys41263 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hardly find any Academy kits in Japanese shops, such as the Academy Phantoms, but you can in when they're in Doyusha boxes. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albeback52 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Admittedly, it does look nice but, I prefer a sensible scale like 1/72. Think I will wait for the ModelCollect kit. Hope those of you who do buy this enjoy it! Allan- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
