bobmig Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I've just been informed that the new Academy 1/72 B-29 release contains a decal sheet with ALL the schemes from our 1/72 "Camouflaged B-29s" sheet! Now I can understand the duplication of one and maybe two schemes, but the whole sheet!? Come on, Academy... put a little of your own effort into research. If you had asked, I might have even given you the artwork, as our sheet was out of print. But now you've pissed me off! I was considering doing a reprint, but now there's no point in that. Take a look... the Academy decal schemes vs. ours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghodges Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Hmmm....If I were you I think I might be demanding they produce their "original" artwork that their decals were produced from for that kit. SInce when has ANY kit manufacturer given that many decal choices in a bomber kit? That's a mighty shady coincidence! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGronovius Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 It's not like they don't have a history of copying other manufacturers' work; they used to copy Tamiya kits right down to the decal sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
