    That would be brillant, I'd love to see Arma tackle some bigger planes. The 219 in particular is such a beautiful aircraft with not that many toolings in 1/72. Also, interesting to see that the Hayate is viewed as a somewhat unknown plane - pretty sure it was already one of my favorites as a kid!

    I wonder how many kits with Ukrainian decals we will see in the coming years. Seems like they would do very well, especially the well-known Soviet era fighter jets where modern molds already exist. I confess I didn't know the Bayraktar existed a week ago, but it has become very attractive since.
  3. Supersonic26
    It's definitely a shame. I'll probably still get this, but surely the cost of another set of decals pales in comparison to this being a brand new tooling. That being said, Revell probably know their customers so I'll wager they've found out people really like those anniversary schemes. Maybe there's enough people they can rely on to buy the next boxing in a year or two.

    72535 is the 190D-13 Yellow 10, 72548 the JV44 D-11. Beautiful artwork all around.

    Cheers for the background information, that explains how similar the markings options are. Beautiful plane and the French camo scheme always looks nice, so I'm happy to see this. Hopefully we'll see some more French types in the future, Dora Wings are certainly doing a nice job with them.

    It would be nice if they used box art as teaser for future projects, but then again the CR42 on the Gladiator art never materialized. A Ki-43 or similar Japanese fighter would also make a nice Dogfight Double with the Tomahawk though. I wonder if "all your favourite categories" also includes WW1? Not really an area of focus since the BE2 and Fokker a few years back, but certainly popular enough with modellers.

    This really has had me sour on the brand in general. Most Italeri kits I've build recently were decent - not great in any aspect, not terrible in any either, obviously lacking in detail compared to modern stuff. However, they're often priced on the same level as absolute state of the art kits, and I'd rather go for the Eduard or Airfix version if it is at all available.

    Judging from their releases, Revell might as well be bankrupt. Two new tools for the next nine months and one is just a delayed 2021 release (the F-15). Even worse, no repops of their excellent early 2000s kits like the Fw 200 or Ju 290, no cooperations with Hasegawa or the likes (one of the last cooperations I can think of was Eduard's 190D for a significantly higher price, with fewer decal options, while the Eduard version is very much available) , no reissue of slightly dated but interesting kits from the 80s or 90s like the Privateer. Then again, being disappointed by the new Revell lineup is a New Year's tradition at this point.

    And every year I end up marveling at kits that I won't be buying anytime soon. Still haven't gotten around to the Beaufort, the Tempest isn't even released yet...but my excitement for the 2022 range launch is unbroken.

    I'd love a rerelease of the excellent 1/48 Tomahawk with some interesting marking options (why not go the Eduard way and offer five or six in one boxing?). As far as new stuff is concerned, something British from WW2 seems a sure bet. I'd be very happy with anything Blackburn, really - Skua, Roc, Botha, Firebrand... For the more casual market, I feel like the P-47 could use a mainstream release in 1/72 as well as 1/48, both razorback and bubbletop. Famous airplane, many boxing options, some gorgeous Far East RAF schemes available too.

    So is the box art confirmation of another "display scheme and display scheme only" jet from Revell? Still, looking forward to this. Always loved the F-15.
  12. Supersonic26
    Box art is wonderful, the kit looks the part but the panel lines on that display build are once more way overblown. Not sure if that's the kit's fault or the modeller's - probably a bit of both.
  13. Supersonic26
    One of those kits that make you feel like the gap between the detail level of 1/48 and 1/72 kits is evaporating. Seriously, that looks almost as nice as the 1/48 Eduard D-9 I'm currently building!
  14. Supersonic26
    Really annoying with Revell's overall very decent jet kits in the last years. You usually only get one or two decal options and many of them are those striking display schemes. I get that they are interesting, but it feels like the ratio of display/non-display is way too heavily skewed.
  15. Supersonic26
    Yeah, having few new tools is normal for Revell, having zero would be surprising. I always liked Revell's large 1/72 kits a lot, so any medium or heavy bomber from WW2 onward would be very welcome. We'll see - I expect little from Revell and generally put way mroe hope into the upcoming Airfix announcements.
