MINI BOAT RACING:
WHERE THE ONLY THING THAT’S
Little
Racing is always exhilarating...and mini-sized racing boats let a lot more modelers in on the
excitement. With warmer weather just around the corner, why not get you and your friends
together to compete with AquaCraft’s lineup of quality-constructed mini racers? Because tooling
around on the water is fun...but blazing across the water while racing other boats is the ultimate!
Cost
AquaCraft’s mini racers are affordable on any modeler’s budget. The fact that they
come complete with everything you need in one box adds to the value and simplicity!
Assembly
Actually, there’s virtually no assembly required with AquaCraft mini racers. Just charge
your batteries, install them and start racing!
Space
With lengths ranging from 15.5” to 17.5”, a small body of water such as a neighborhood
or park pond is all you need to stage thrilling boat races.
Course Setup
Creating a course can be as simple as attaching weights to floating objects to make
buoys and establishing a start/finish line. The first to complete a set number of laps wins!

The supersonic strategic bomber!
Designed to replace the aging B-52, the B-1A was built to serve as a
supersonic heavy bomber capable of delivering a nuclear payload. After
a lengthy development period, the project was scrapped in 1977 due to
rising costs and increased vulnerability to Soviet defense systems. A
fleet of upgraded B-52s, ICBMs and SLBMs were produced in the B-1A’s
place. However, the aircraft continued to serve as a test bed for the B-1B
throughout the Reagan administration. Kit features flight test-inspired
markings for the B-1A circa 1981.

the Mark 7 nuclear bomb, plus it was capable of in-flight refueling using
a boom and drogue. It was also the first aircraft flown by the U.S. Air
Force’s Thunderbirds, which flew the F-84G from 1953 to 1955. This fully

MRC™ 1/72 Scale F-84G Thunderjet Italian Air Force
One of the best fighters of its time!
Thanks to its participation with NATO in 1949, the Italian Air Force was
able to modernize its fleet of aging aircraft. American aid appeared by
way of the Mutual Defense Assistance Program – and Italy benefited from
some of the best aircraft of this time, including the F-84G Thunderjet. 1,936
F-84Gs were built for the MDAP, and a rejuvenated Italian Air Force carried
on through the 1950s. This fully assembled and painted model features a

The finest starship in the galaxy!
In 1979, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 made a grand leap to the big
screen with Star Trek®: The Motion Picture. Instead of using the version
from the original TV show, creator Gene Roddenberry and director Robert
Wise opted for an Enterprise “refit” that was sleeker and much more
detailed than the show’s original model. Kit features include easy snaptogether assembly, plastic parts molded in white, clear plastic accessories,
a display stand with moveable ball-and-socket joint, marking decals and
full aztec decals.

was a vast contrast to ringleader Moe and foil Larry. However, the
combination of their different personalities was what made the Stooges
so special. Curly comes molded in two tones of grey and clear plastic,
