Hi all,

I just saw over on HLJ site that there is a re-release of the Tarecruzer/Mace missile combo. Now I really wonder if such an ugly contraption ever been in service. I guess the kit is a real dog, but it has something.

TIA

Hi
The Terracruzer/Mace combo was even deployed in Germany in the 60's :

Hi fRenchy,

cool find, did know much about the system. O.k. it`s an Air Force thingy, usually not my cup of tea:-)).
So how about some PE and resin updates, same goes for Revell`s "Atomic Annie" model;-() :-)

These old Renwal kits currently have no AM....no PE....no add on's....basically bupkiss.

You can search and find drawings of Atomic Annie and one or two modelers who by a great deal of scratch work, improved the model.

Rounds Complete!!

Back when I built the Atomic Cannon, 50 years ago, we didn't need no stinkin' resin or PE. We just built it an' fired off the round an' we were better modelers for it.
