Albeback52 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I have no problem with Revell reissuing older kits and, I guess they have good reasons for the chosen items. Personally, I'd love to see the Heinkel He-177, Junkers Ju-290, Fw-200 and, Breguet Atlantic reappear!! Ah well! All good things come to those that wait Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denford Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 It always surprises me that Revell Germany haven't tooled a T-33. According to Wikepedia West Germany had 192 of the 6500 odd built and supplied many other western nations. Lots of decal options here! There was some correspondence a while back on why trainers were less popular. Yet Airfix tooled Vampire T11, Gnat, Jet Provost which is why I find the absence of a Revell T-33 surprising. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The T-33 and I would add the F/RF-84F, another type that served in the Luftwaffe in large numbers (IIRC around 450) and that is still lacking a modern 1/72 model. Revell reissued the 1/48 Monogram kit a few times but nothing in 1/72. Back on topic I'm happy to see the Hunter re-released, this time I'll buy a few to keep in the stash in case the next rerelease is in another 10 years or so 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Platz 1/72 T-33 is a wonderful kit. There was even a limited edition version with a full engine. This kit has also been reboxed by Tanmodel with a massive decal sheet with a bunch of European marking options.

No, they reboxed the Italeri 'Streak in 1/72: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/138503-revell-04372-f-84f-thunderstreak Still, that was quite some time ago and in my opinion, the Italeri F-84F is the less pleasing option in 1/72 (the other one is the Airfix rendition which is a bit more recent, from their "golden period"). Apart from the PJ productions resin model (which is quite nice but not cheap and not available right now), there is indeed no modern alternative in 1/72. Wonder if Trumpyboss will ever scale down their 1/48 offer and if that would be a good thing... Edited February 5, 2018 by ivand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert If they take their cue from Airfix it will be £22 to £25. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. The H2S dome is a real stinker as well. At least it is in the B.III kit. Thankfully I have couple of spares courtesy of Airfix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasermonkey Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I'm sure that I read that one online seller would be doing the Hunter for £14.99. That's a bit more like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget that Revell are still to release their Beaufighter TFX later this year - it was supposed to be released in 2017 but fell but fell by the wayside for some reason.

Albeback52 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Revell 2018 kits available to order at www.jumbliesmodels.com. Some of the prices are interesting. Is the 1/32 Mirage III a rebox of the Italeri kit? If so it's an absolute steal at £26.95!! My pre orders are in!!!

I've been tempted before by the Italeri Mirage even at their price, at Revell's price it becomes even more interesting.
