Well, that's a fair comment but,reissues notwithstanding, Revell will be getting a lot more out of me this year than Airfix will.Already ordered the 1/32 Me 262 and, I will be getting the Tornado F3, Fw-190Nachtjager,reissued A-400,the 1/32 F/A -18E and He 219. All Airfix have of interest for me personally are the Phantom and,Me 262. I was however very underwhelmed upon learning that the new Revell 1/32 model was yet another P-51. However, I am sure it will be a good seller- especially as it is likely to be at a far more sensible price level compared to the Tamiya or Z M kits!

Geoff_B Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 We'll have to see if they do any desperate back tracking at SMW to try and come up with something for Qtr1 2018 for 72nd or 1/144 aircraft fans, but as far as I'm concerned the only thing on the wish list is the new PT-109, with the possibility of the re-popped Zvezda Star Destroyer.

The wooksta V2.0 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I'd have appreciated a DB7 more - there's not one available in 24th, whereas all the other DBs (4, 5, 6 - IF you can find an Airfix one! - and 9/S) are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas V. Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 We should see another new aircraft tooling being announced in Nurnberg, as for 2017 releases, not bad compared to 2016, but again pricing will be the main problem in the EU because Hobbico still thinks they can charge 30% more for certain kits in Europe, sales show they cannot, lets hope sanity will prevail and more normal prices to be restored...because 45€ MRSP for Me 262B-1/U1 and/or 50€ for DC-4 does not pass...and its Hobbico that is to blame for those 15€ that make all the difference. Mustang and Spitfire are no brainers, but are they going to be accurate remains big question because current track record of recent releases is poor to say at least, we can write off Mk.IX as its based on Mk.II tooling, and hope for Mustang. He 219A-0...makes me sad to think how relatively cheap He 219 in 1/32 we could have had, A-7 probably being most inaccurate 1/32 kit they released since 2000.

Caerbannog Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I am affraid that prices are going up for several reasons. In my view one is that there is a bigger margin added so there can be discounts made. 50€ for the DC 4? I got mine for as little as 20€... However I doubt this is a good strategy in the long term. It kept me from buying kits because I feel I have to wait for the "inevitable" sales. Revell has done huge discounts when they change their range for ages. Back in the eighties I got a B-1B (1:48), F-15E (1:32) and others for 50% less. But now I feel there is a discount around any next corner. Must be quite a problem for the bricks and motar shops especially. That said I am looking forward to the Vampire and the Zevezda Star Destroyer which is announced but not in the list above. Some kits look interesting although I will most likely not buy them: The big P-51, the Beaufighter and the Tornado do look nice. And I am sure there will be more on the Nürnberg Toy Fair. Plus maybe some more Star Wars stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work In Progress Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I can only assume it's not really a conversion at all, as the existing Va kit (which is what it's closest to out of the box) would require almost every part apart from the cockpit interior and the tail surfaces to be replaced with new tooling to make a IX. And if they don't replace the cockpit parts, then the new fuselage will have to have the wrong chubby cross-section again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look carefully at the fuselage parts of the Mk.II, you can see that the entire nose forward of the wing root and the upper part of the forward fuselage back to the cockpit hatch is a mold insert. All they have to do is replace the Mk.II insert with a part for the longer nose of the Mk.IX and a Mk.IX fuselage results. I would guess that the wings will be all new.

Mk.IX is to build on Mk.II, they are going to use Mk.II fuselage adding new wing, unfortunately Mk.II has wrong fuselage cross section , so not a good starting point for accurate Mk.IX. Evidence, if you are retailing Revell, just ask your sales rep or contact them online Edited January 3, 2017 by Thomas V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
