VMA131Marine Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 These are obviously ex-Minicraft kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt-92 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 If true, strictly speaking Crown (for the -52). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IT_Man Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Interesting. Seems like a good move if they can get the price point right (IIRC the Minicraft Hercs were pretty expensive). Assuming the Chally 1 is the same as the Revell one - they seem to be reboxing a few of their kits recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily, Academy has it’s own modern and.very nice tool of the B-52H. Hoping it is a development of that. Additionally, I don’t recall Academy ever using the Crown tools. Minicraft used them plenty and there is a long ago link between Academy and Minicraft. The Minicraft (Crown) B-52H leaves a lot to be desired compared to the Academy one. Here’s hoping.

As Minicraft closed down early this year, they sold all toolings to Academy. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VMA131Marine Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 The B-52 box art is reused from the 1/320 kit. I knew it looked familiar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salomon Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Just wondering why Academy didn't edit the operational T-50 golden eagle, th Wolfpack model is very rare and expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
