Dave Fleming Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 No one unfortunately! A -135 family in 144th is a major gap in the market! Welsh do a KC-135, but the whole lot of them in state of the art injection plastic would be more than welcome! Keef I know Minicraft have been promising one for a while, so we shall see!

keefr22 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I know Minicraft have been promising one for a while, so we shall see! There was another range announced too, by an American firm I can't exactly remember the name of, I think it was Amtech - they did do a limited edition re-run of the AMT 1/72 kit as an NKC-135A & listed all the 135's as future releases in 144! Whoever they were, apparently the owner unfortunately became ill, & that was the last I heard of them. Can't find their website now (if I have the name right!) If Minicraft do do one, I hope they make a better job of the nose than the abysmal effort in their 707's!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattie Bee Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) So we can't use MR.4's to do the job the R.1 does? No, the MRA.4 ELINT Capability is basic, ELINT on the R1 is its sole purpose Edited January 15, 2010 by Mattie Bee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary C Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Interesting news, I guess my AMT RC-135V has just doubled in value There was another range announced too, by an American firm I can't exactly remember the name of, I think it was Amtech - they did do a limited edition re-run of the AMT 1/72 kit as an NKC-135A & listed all the 135's as future releases in 144! Whoever they were, apparently the owner unfortunately became ill, & that was the last I heard of them. Can't find their website now (if I have the name right!) If Minicraft do do one, I hope they make a better job of the nose than the abysmal effort in their 707's!! Most of the 135 family has been done in 1/72 at some point. In the early- mid 90's AMT made the NKC-135A Laser Lab, an EC-135C Looking Glass and the RC-135V Rivet Joint off the basic the KC-135A/E/R kit. Amtech did the snoopy nosed EC-135E/N ARIA/ALOTS some years later, also based off the AMT molds. They can all still be had on ebay if you're interested and usually go for somewhere around the £30 mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
