MarkoZG Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 If someone from Revell is reading this, then please do BV 222C! The parts breakdown of BV 222A announced that possibility and I am getting old while waiting for it to happen. Also Fw 200C-3 with shallow turret would be nice, since there are no Fw 200s currently in the catalogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it well because it was in the early 80s - I was still young and quite puzzled in the fist moments when I saw it that the RAF had such sophisticated wappons. Mind you - my first thought was a German terrorist organisation ("Rote Armee Fraktion") - not the Royal Air Force. I bet on a 1:48 Mustang btw.

Remember the rubbishing the Revell Shackleton got before it was even issued? Turned out to be a pretty decent kit. OK, the rivet counters weren't happy about some of the finer details but, that's life! Of course, all the speculation above is wrong. The "thrilling" news will of course be a brand new tool Vulcan B2!. No doubt of course even in that event I am sure there will be a whole army of keyboard experts and cyber warriors ready to tell us that the ancient and worn out Airfix kit is unquestionably going to be "better" purely because the new Revell kit is produced by..... well, Revell of course!

Geoff_B Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 They might even do an RAF Buccaneer, or possibly a Canberra Bomber variant, but it could be something curve ball like the Chieftain in 72nd or the CVR(T) family, an even more interesting one would be an Ark Royal IV in either 1/700 or 1/350th scales as they would be popular, the same goes for the new HMS Queen Elizabeth CVF (just as long as its not 1/70th ! or an odd scale). Other interesting ones could be them doing a Nimrod or maybe Poseidon, or doing a new Hercules kit or the Belfast :!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony.t Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Surely some more big 1/32 scale Luftwaffe is possible? Why not a 1/32 new variant Ju 88 C-6 night fighter based on the A-4? A great model that just needs some new parts. New tool Bf 110 G-4 and Do 217 would be great. British? A 1/72 Avro Vulcan B.2 would be very welcomed and a great success. A 1/32 EE Lightning F.6 could be nirvana, although I still hope Revell will one day do a 1/32 Swedish Saab J.35 Draken. Very futuristic for its era and some dazzling colour schemes. I love Revell kits. They have their idiosyncrasies but are good value for money and not overly complex, with about the right level of detail and nice styrene (although the easy on the eye duck egg blue or green colour seems to have gone). Whatever comes along will be interesting and I wish Revell well. The brand has been with me since childhood in the 1960s and the blue and yellow logo still has a welcoming feeling.

MikeR Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 What Revell do will no doubt be dictated by the group's current owners. I'm not going to hold my breath based on what we've seen from them after Hobbico took over. Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Honestly, Revell set my expectations rather low, recently. Either a old re-issue, or the wrong scale. Never expect too much anyway, so you won't be disappointed. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I'd be a happy bunny if they'd reissue the BAe 146 kit. I sent them an email, but apparently there's no plans at this point. Boo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A completely inaccurate fuselage cross section and a pretty inaccurate nose are more than just rivet counting in my book (And that's not counting the dreadfully inaccurate rivet depiction!)

ABeck Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 To shorten the whole thing: From my (vey limited) view the most ICONIC British planes since beginning of WW II which have to be done (new or to replace old kits) as main stream plastic kits are: Spit (Griffon, XIV, XVIII, 21) - 72,48,32 Hurricane - 32 (main stream !) ((Mustang III - 32,24 !!!!!!!!)) Mosquito - 32 (main stream!) Lancaster - 48 Halifax - 48 Typhoon - 32 Hunter - 48 Gnat - 32 Spey Phantom - 48,32 Harrier - 32 Tucano - 48,32 Belfast - 72 Britannia - 72 Comet - 72 Please excuse, if I left out something important.
