You got the scale wrong though. Should surely read Revell VC-10 1/72 new tool ? Allan 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofiane1718 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 So maybe like their A400M, first in 1/72, and a year after in 1/144 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oggy4624 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Hopefully they are not just taking piccies before cosford lets BOB rot, like the 707. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniperUK Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Hopefully they are not just taking piccies before cosford lets BOB rot, like the 707. You mean that British Airways let rot, their airframes ,their resposibility. They were kept at Cosford for BA and were not the RAFMs to look after. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albeback52 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) Before speculation and rumour REALLY gets out of hand, do we have any actual, positive, incontrovertible proof that these "German guys" are in fact (1) connected in any way with Revell or any other kit manufacturer and (2) this activity is actually connected with a future kit release? Is this not another case of putting two and two together and getting five? Allan Edited November 10, 2015 by Albeback52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caution Wake Turbulence Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Maybe they'll be so good as to leave a Revell branded tape measure lying around... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Belbin Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 So that's what LIDAR looks like! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomphan92 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) He's gonna need a bigger tape measure than that! Edited November 10, 2015 by phantomphan92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan I don't know, he just said some German guys were all over it with cameras and tape measures, then when I said "Really" sent me that pic.

kev67 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 May be Revell might beat Airfix to a 1/72 scale VC10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truro Model Builder Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 No, they'll both announce them for release in the same year, with Airfix doing a C.1 and Revell doing a C.1K, then they'll try to beat each other to the punch. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caution Wake Turbulence Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I can't see Revell (or Airfix) doing one in 1/72. 1/144 maybe. You need to start lobbying someone like BPK, more their cup of tea I would think. Andrew 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomphan92 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Hope it is a new mould and hope its 1/144, in the meantime perhaps they'll finally scale down the Transall and Atlantic to keep me going!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Maybe its' Authentic Airiiners' people measuring up for 1/144? Anyone thought of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard123 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I reckon Ryanair are looking to see if it fits in their hangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcanicity Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 It's a sign of the times: Airfix outsourcing their 1:72 new projects department to cheap German labour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob P Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 It's a sign of the times: Airfix outsourcing their 1:72 new projects department to cheap German labour.Maybe they've subbed the work out to the German guys from Revell that are sat around producing not much?Ouch, yes, I know, naughty comment... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albeback52 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Until we know something for certain, I suggest all talk of a new VC-10 kit resulting from this event remains a triumph of hope over reality. Allan ps - better not be 1/144 tiddler scale. Immediate loss of interest! Edited November 11, 2015 by Albeback52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
