Radleigh Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Maybe Revell will do a 100th Anniversary VC-10 in 1/72nd.... (Yeah right!) Police H145 might be of interest though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLC1966 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Revell Hunter incoming...at last. Saves at least £30 for a couple off of the Bring and Buy stall at Telford. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is like one new tool in each scale per year . The likes of Airfix , special hobby ( who I suspect have far less resources and manpower ) manage to churn out new tools on an acceptable rate . Revell's new tool kits encompass more subjects than just aircraft. That's not a knock on Airfix, who clearly have figured out that aircraft releases give them the best value for money invested in new tooling, at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just 'best value for money' but most reliable sales forecast based on recent past performance. Remember Hornby Hobbies has a serious debt, and relies on the bank continuing to lend them money. Aircraft give them the most predictable return. Other subjects - ships, cars and several other types have recently been suggested - could never have the same certainty of forward sales forecast.

SeaVenom Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Wish they'd retool that Halifax Mk1 so it's actually a lot more accurate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more likely, IMHO, that we will see a new Halifax from Airfix than that Revell will retool their kit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly. I know there's a few things wrong with it like the size of the wheels and engine shape but it wouldn't be so bad if they at least included some correct propellor blades. That to me is the most glaring inaccuracy. I can sort of live with the engines and too small wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Hugo Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I could do with a couple of Revell Hunters to add to my solitary F Mk6. They have been a bit scarce, even when new, at least here in sunny SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 @Colin @ Freightdog Models I think it might be a good time to ramp up that 1/72 Hunter (proper) wheel size set.. looks like you may have a Congo line waiting to order some. Once you’ve compared Revell’s billy cart wheels to any decent Hunter plans you’ll either raid your old Airfix kit or jump onto Col’s website straight away. I should add that I have no connection with Col or Freightdog models in any way, however if he ever wanted to open up a store credit in my name - I’d be happy with that!! Cheers.. Dave. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Just looking at the price on an old box of the Revell Hunter the price is £7.99, hopefully they can keep the re-release at a reasonable price. Robert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 hunter reissue, excellent, rebox of the typhoon, not as impressed with the retool as I intially was, but welcome. # 100th RAF set looks interesting, depends what will be included and the cost, but watching, suspect it will have the rubbish spitfire retool and the tornado in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
