Albeback52 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 1 hour ago, Vladan Dugaric said: It may be the old Revell's 1/32 Mirage IIIE (original 1983 boxing #4741), although the label "Cooperation" indicates rebox of Italeri kit, unless it is a typo and they meant to say "Reintro". http://www.ipmsdeutschland.de/FirstLook/Hersteller_News/Revell_News_2018.html This list states "Kooperation Italeri" which appears to confirm it is the Italeri kit reboxed. I would have preferred the Mirage IIIC but, at £49.99, it's a bargain so, I'll probably have it anyway!! Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoZG Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Strangely, 1/72nd scale Catalina is listed on Hannants site as new item from Revell, but it doesn't appear on any of other listings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revell USA (link) vs Revell Germany (link)? The Cat could be a Revell USA/Monogram re-edition and not a Revell Germany one. As what was just announced is the Revell Germany programme for 2018. V.P.

SeaVenom Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Usual bunch of reissues and co-operations and very little new 'unusual' stuff. Still they usually have at least 1 new gem and it's great to see an AN225 confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I wonder if they have anymore announcements for the Nuremburg trade show? Thought we might have seen a Shackleton MR3 as it would be a relatively cheap way to get a big box kit out (the kit breakdown is set up to for a straight replacement of forward fuselage undercarriage etc sprues). New box art and South African decals could make it look sufficiently different to entice punters. They might have held off with Airfix bringing their AEW out late in the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelldoc Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 The Mk 3 is a possibility by Revell (all otherr Mk's too), but the marketing section says - no, not in this moment, we need the money for our level 1 kits for kids. modelldoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) 16 hours ago, GreenDragon said: Got an email from Revell with new release list and it says the Bronco is a cooperation so probably Academy? Price on Hannants seems pretty steep at £17.99 (RRP £19.99). I've got six Academy kits in the stash and seem to remember the most I paid was around £6-£7, the majority of them for a lot less than that. Paul Harrison 16 hours ago, trickydicky210 said: Given Revell's links with Hasegawa and the price, I would suggest its a Hasegawa kit, rather than Acedemy It's a long time ago since I did this, about 40 years or so, but at one point I had the Hasegawa, Revell and Airfix Bronco's, IIRC, the Revell one was better than the Hasegawa one and the only one to include the clear rear fuselage for the TT versions used by the Germans. But as I say, it was a long time ago and memory has a habit of playing tricks. Revell have over recent years had tie ins with Academy rather than Hasegawa, the formers 1/48th Hunter for instance, the last Hasegawa kit I recall them reissuing was the 1/72nd He-111 over five years ago. Given that the Hasegawa Bronco is probably even older than Revell's own original one I see no merit in them releasing the Hasegawa one under their own box, the Academy one is a different story and I think therefore it is likely to be the Academy kit. But as others say, the price is excessive and anyway, I have a load of Academy Bronco's in the stash. The only thing I would be interested in would be raiding the old Revell kit for the bits to make a German version.

Robert Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 It seems that Revell have seen that if they do not get the youngsters interested then they will have a difficult future so good luck to them. Be interesting to compare the Airfix line up when it is released. Not much on their list but I might look at getting their Starfighter kit, do not need any more Hunters as I got them when Modelzone was selling them for £5 each .

Der Lingener Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi all out there, wishing you a happy new and prosperous (modelling) year! I would like to state two things (for now ): 1. OV-10A Bronco is a repop of the Academy kit 2. Mirage IIIE is a reboxed Italeri kit. As the author of the news-article ( http://www.kitreviewsonline.de/revell-neuheiten-2018/ ) I will comment anything you have questions about! At least, as far as I am able to - of course! The Revell-program as listed above is for quarters II to IV - but you van never be sure if there are some surprise items for Nürnberg Toy Fair! i will keep you updated directly from the Toy Fair. As for the starWars/Star Trek items: Of course there will be new kits ... but since Disney is veeery obesessed about the secrecy of any information Revell also has to be veery cautious in annoncing any information about new kits! As soon as new information is available for press-release, I will also update the modelling community - promised! Michael 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Harrison The Revell 1/72 Starfighter is a nice kit, very similar to the Hasegawa one (actually a few parts are so similar that feels like someone had the Japanese kit in their hands when doing this...). I rate the Revell kit as slightly inferior but it's still a modern kit with decent fit, recessed panel lines and good enough detail level. The canopy is not great unfortunately and some areas could be better but I'd still rate this as the second best 1/72 F-104 kit around, with Hasegawa on top and the Esci (reboxed by Italeri) as third (no other 1/72 Starfighter kit is IMHO worth considering). If the price is right, this kit can form the basis of a nice collection of Starfighters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardiff guy Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I am also interested in the catalina, if its a tie in with the Acadamy kit then thats a good thing, but please do some post war decals like the recue bird in the 1/48 kit. how about Norway or Danish to name just a few. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Lingener Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi Gavin and Cardiff Boy, the 72nd Catalina is NOT officially listed by Revell Germany and has also NOT been announced during last November´s press conference! So officially it´s a "NO" - officially! But trust me: Hannants do have the new items list for the trade and they need to have it in advance to order their stocks ... need to say more? The OV-10A Bronco is a re-pop of Academy - so who knows what else will be re-released in the near future? maybe a Flying boat? who knows...
