Hello, everyone!
I'm sure there are some of you who already know, but I have discovered that Academy Model Kits has recently ceased the production of their 1/72 BOCKSCAR kits! That was a major blow to all Bockscar lovers and WWII buffs in the modeling community. I had the privilege of working with only one of these fine kits in my modeling career and all that is left of that kit is the accompanying Fat man bomb I assembled to go into her bomb bay. I believe Minicraft has also ceased the production of its 1/144 BOCKSCAR kit as well. It seems that the memory of Bockscar is fading from the hands of model builders everywhere with these losses...
