Re-pop of the Italeri/Academy kit or genuine new tool? I would guess mould sharing with Italeri but a new, accurate Hunter would be very welcome, especially if it was the precursor of a family. I have to say that I was hoping Airfix would do the Hunter though! Simon The hunter is 1/72, re issue of their own mould of a few years ago.

rayprit Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 The Hunter will be a welcome return for us Hunter modellers, its been a long wait and should upset sellers on Ebay who try to sell them for high prices..........I have 2 x T7 conversion kits looking for Revell Hunters.................. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Not so sure about that. If what I've read on this forum is true, Revell are asking twenty quid for the Hunter. Madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Where is the 1:48 Beaufighter they announced before? Seems it is not a complete list. I understand that Revell tries to attract junger people but I do not understand why these simple to build kits are designed so they often repel the enthusiast. When I went to primary school in the seventies I freequently spend my pocket money on a Revell or (more often) a Matchbox kit. They were cheap, colourful and yet proper kits which had to be build with glue. Maybe it were the fumes but I think it made me more proud with what I build than something that just needs to be stuck together like a Kinder Surprise "kit". As Revell owns the Matchbox tools they could treat beginners and enthusiasts. And of course their strange Star Wars box scales is something I wish they would reconsider. I had an entire fleet if they managed to move from this ancient habit to scale the plastic content to the box. Or even worse to give completely wrong scales. Their Darth Vader TIE fighter is very close in size and detail to the Fine Molds kit. Promiss. I have both. But their TIE Interceptor and TIE Fighter are both in different scales. Very nice kits for kids actually. In a proper scale they would be my preferred choice over the Japanese offerings. What I do not quite understand are the very high prices for the larger Star Wars kits - the Republich Star Destroyer and the big AT-AT have become quite expensive in this rerelease. I would really like to know how good they sell. Rant off. In general they need to be applauded that they care about the youngsters. And I really hope they are right and I am wrong.

Robert Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) I fear the era of reasonable price kits have gone. The far east companies have proved that selling kits at higher prices work.

Hi Caerbannog, rest assured: This is the complete list for the first quarter of 2018 (minus the "surprise items for Nüznberg in February!) I am pretty sure I haven´t missed an item!

Robert The Asian manufacturers are more expensive because the pound has never recovered its vale viz a viz the yen compared to the pre-crisis years. European manufacturers are still VERY cheap compared to that. Doubtful after April 2019 if there's no single-market deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisov Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Just received e mail from Jumblies Models with detials of 1st quarter releases. Includes the 1/48 Beaufighter TFX at 27.95 Hunter FGA9 at 15.95 1/72 Berlin Airlift C-54 at 49.95 1/32 A/F-18 52.95 Quite a lot of other stuff but no obvious surprises for me.

lasermonkey Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) Glad to see the Hunter at a more sensible price than had been previously reported. Edit: looks like the list price is £19.95 and that Jumblies are selling it at the more realistic price.

ivand Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I wonder what markings they will include with the Hunter. The days of Revell kits with up to four decal options seem to be gone too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 The Hunter is listed under 1:48???? I do not dare to hope this might be a new tool one... More likely the Academy/Italeri if this is not a scale typo. Like 1:72 Catalina and 1:32 Mirage 1:72 Haunebau is likely the Squadron kit. Quite a surprise. At that price the F-104G is probably the old Monogram tool and not the Hasegawa one. Some nice Eduard reboxings on the list and good to see the 1.48 Ju 52 back in the shpos :-) Looks good so far to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Any ideas about the F-117 and the OV-10A in 1/72? Old repops, I suppose? Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) These are not quoted as "New Tool", therefore: OV-10 F-117 V.P. Edited December 28, 2017 by Homebee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Bronco and F-117 could be Hasegawa molds as well. Maybe more likely than the very old Revell tools - besides the F-117 boxing above was not actually close to the real think AFAIR :-) René Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMA131Marine Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 F-117 is most likely this one: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/250271-revell-4460-f-117-stealth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
