1/144 Boeing B-50 Superfortress - Minicraft

1/144 B-50 Superfortress - Minicraft

The B-50 evolved from the B-29 which was used during World War II. Modifications were made to the B-29 to improve speed and payload and to integrate the delivery of new atomic weapons into the aircraft design. The modified airplane was expected to become the B-29D but so many modifications were made that the airplane was re-designated the Boeing B-50, the first purpose built aircraft to carry atomic weapons.

The new Minicraft B-50 will feature all new tooling representing the aircraft first flown in 1947. The new kit will feature rotating propellers, position-able landing to display with gear up or down, and a clear stand for displaying the airplane in flight.

Decals, printed by Cartograf will offer two marking options.

1/144 E-8 "Joint Star" USAAF - Minicraft (update)

1/144 E-8 "Joint Star" USAAF - Minicraft
===============================

The last B-707’s produced were purchased by the United States Air Force and the U.S. Navy in the early 1990’s . The reliable 707 proved to be the ideal aircraft to carry aloft the newly evolving electronic command and control radar systems needed for modern warfare. The E-8 Joint Star has proven to be yet another integral component in the command structure of military forces for real time command and control of ground forces and theatre electronic surveillance.

Markings included in this kit are:

• USAF E-8A JSTARS, 116th ACW, Georgia Air Guard
• USAF E-8A JSTARS, 93 ACW, Operation Desert Storm, 1991

Suggested Retail Price: $39.99*

Available: Week of November 30, 2009
