Gimme Shelter Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Hi I don't think I have missed any posts here about the new Revell Boeing 787-900. I've just got my hands on the new Zvezda -900 and was wondering if anyone out there has the new Revell 900 and how it measures up against the Zvezda moulding of the same? Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Given that the Revell -800 was the Zvezda kit in a Revell box, I'm inclined to guess that the -900 will be the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Agree, the Revell B777-300 is also a Zvezda tooled kit. The only difference will be the better quality Revell decals in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Revell decals are considerably better in their release of the 777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodadriver Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Maybe I'm just missing it but I can't find any reference to a 787-900 in the online Revell catalogue or anything else from Revell themselves. Has there been a press release or something? It's entirely reasonable to assume that Revell will re-box the Zvezda 787-900 at some point but I can't find anything to say they are actually doing so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofiane1718 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 There isn't any Revell 787-9, only 787-8 Revell reboxed 787-8 and 777-3 from Zvezda, that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircraftkit Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Didn't Revell also re-box Zvezda's Ilyushin IL86 ? (again, with much improved decals) Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that I cannot find a reference to a current or planned re-boxing of the 787-9 anywhere in Revell's own publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Shelter Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 Hi thanks for all your help here - you are all right - it was a typo error on Ebay that I latched onto - someone advertising a Revel 787-900 using a library picture of the Zvezda kit without the boxing background lead me to believe there was something new from the fatherland... Didn't know about the 777's though - I've got Zvezda's boxing and a stash of 26 decals to go with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
