Mike Esposito Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) I just saw this on Scalemates. Listed in 2018. Anybody heard of this or know a tentative release date? Tks Edited August 23, 2019 by Mike Esposito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMA131Marine Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 This definitely was not released. It's not on the Minicraft website either so it's anybody's guess as to the status of the project. My guess is that it would be a conversion of the Minicraft B-29 with a new vertical tail, and new engines. That kit is, itself, a re-release of the old Crown kit. It's not bad, but the Fuji 1/144 B-29 is better in most respects. If Minicraft ever release it, it will be interesting to see if the new parts could be used to convert the Fujimi kit to a B-50 instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 The Fujimi 1/144 B-29 is indeed a very nice kit, well, except for those square prop hubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's up for pre-order at Internet Hobbies. 🤔 Edited August 23, 2019 by Mike Esposito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the complete lack of engine detail. Brengun has some very nice resin nacelles with engine details and replacement resin propellers with accurate hubs to improve the Fujimi kit.
