Caution Wake Turbulence Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Apparently news of this has surfaced at Telford, although I haven't seen anything official yet. A re-box of the Zvezda kit with decals for KLM. Anyone seen any more? Cheers, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofiane1718 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 They did re-issue the 1/72 Su-27SM from Zvezda this year, but the Zvezda one was released a year ago, so I think the 777 might be re-issued by Revell,, but like in 2017 I think.

Caution Wake Turbulence Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 The March 2016 date supposedly came from the people on the Revell stand, but I think you're right, we can probably expect to wait a little longer than that. Hopefully, we can finally consign the Minicraft kit to the dustbin of history (with due apologies to any fans of the kit)! Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofiane1718 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Yes, last year when they announced it, I was very happy to hear it was the -300ER. Let's hope they will also do the 757 and the MD-11/DC-10 Apart from that, their Il-76, announced two years ago now, is expected end of 2016, I hope so... And no news for their Mig-29 too.

pinky coffeeboat Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 This is really good news, and as I've mentioned elsewhere this is one model release I'm genuinely excited about. Can't say I'm overly fussed about KLM new dolphin colour scheme, but I do like their previous livery. I think (and have no other evidence to back this up other than their track record and a few comments about the company) that Zvezda will model what Aeroflot fly so perhaps a new 737, A330 to go with their IL86, TU134/154, A320/1, Sukhoi Superjet, B767...you get the idea. So a 757 could be a bit of a none starter unfortunately, but Aeroflot did use the MD-11 so you never know. None of the above explains their 747-8i though. I'd love a nice 757 model but let's enjoy what we've got or coming to us. Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caution Wake Turbulence Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 I think it works on the 789, but it makes the 747/777 look a bit smiley, and I'm not really a fan of aeroplanes with faces (unless they have sharks teeth!).

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 This is good news, it is easier to get Revell in this neck of the woods. Revell also re-boxed the Zvezda B787 some time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
