davidelvy Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I've read in both SAM publications titles that Revell are to release a new tool 1/32 Spitfire Mk II. Just a picture of a mocked-up box so far, but is this really a new tool or an old kit with newly tooled parts? If it is a completely new tool then there seems to be very little fuss about it. This makes me suspect it is their very old Spitfire Mk I with newly tooled Coffman bulge and a Rotol spinner. Does anyone know more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 The various lists mention it as a completely new tool. Guess will have to wait and see the first test shots to verify the claim. I would not be surprised if it's a brand new tool: Revell seems to have decided to attack the 1/32 market aggressively in the last couple of years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 The Nuremberg Toy Fair listed it as a new tool, not a re-issue or co-operative venture. Edgar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennings Heilig Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 It remains entirely to be seen how accurate the end product is. The way Revell runs around with their hair on fire with their contractors, I'll be excited when we see the parts and see what they look like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumphfan Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 If it's good value like their recent stuff, I will be getting one, maybe more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I hope it's a new kit. The old one had its errors. It's logical for the Mk II as its easier to move onto the Mk V. Still, a Mk I would have been better but hey ho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 If it's an accurate representation of most examples of the II then all you will have to do is sand off the Coffman starter bulge and possibly change the prop: hardly difficult. The most recent 1/32 Revell II kit, the one that provided the Hasegawa kit with a new A wing, came with both props, so maybe this one will too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heraldcoupe Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) I hope it's closer to the Ju-88 than their He-219 in the way it's been researched. I'm really excited by it yet concerned at the same time, Cheers, Bill. Edited March 4, 2013 by Heraldcoupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidelvy Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Whilst the kit is clearly listed as a new tool my concern was that some manufacturers have a habit of describing a kit as a new tool when in fact it is an old tool with new additions. Also, if this were a completely new early Spitfire kit in 1/32 I wolud have expected a bit more of a fanfare, given the likely popularity of the subject. Anyway, plenty more Spitfire kits for me to be getting on with in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Av8fan Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Any more news on this??? I would really like one, and I am thinking that it should be a good kit. Yes Revell have had a few issues recently, but I remain hopeful and positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennings Heilig Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 All new kits "should" be good. Unfortunately reality doesn't always live up to that goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NPL Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 All new kits "should" be good. Unfortunately reality doesn't always live up to that goal. But at c. 20£ a piece, you can get five to the Price of one Tamiya. And following the German adage: Ăœbung macht den Meister, there should ample of opportunity to exercise on this. I have ordered a copy when it was announced. NPL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NPL Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Built all your other kits, have you? That is not what matters. What matters is to have the kit so you can built it when you like. That's the reason some among us kits enough to keep us occupied for the NeXT hundred years. In the case on my son, probably 250 years. NPL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
