New Product Announcements, week ending January 13th 2018

A number of announcements this week….. makes up for having non last weekend.

First, with thanks to DRAW Decal, I have obtained a supply of 1/144 scale Minicraft MD-80 “bagged kits”. This kit is arguably one of the best jet kits that Minicraft has released to date. And at $12 each, they are a bargain! A set of assembly instructions are included, but no decal. I am, however, offering the kit with your choice of a DRAW, Liveries Unlimited / AHS, Flying Colors or TwoSix decal as a “package deal”.

I have the kits listed on my site under two product numbers – DW44-MD80-A which is the number DRAW is using, and M14452B which is what is printed on the packaging.

DW44-MD80-A-2-88-W
