Silverkite Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) too bad that due their newer policy for cheaper kits the stencils are gone and got replaced by a fancy instruction set that is more expensive than the entire decal sheet Luigi Edited January 1, 2019 by Silverkite 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still well over £200 a pop - lumme. How do we know that the WnW Lanc will be cheaper than HKMs offering? I've seen no mention of price other than a quote from WnWs Richard saying that " they hope it will be around the price of the Felixstowe/HB29 Duellist package" At present that is $349 which means big H will convert to £349 that's not accounting for price increases, exchange rates between now and the kits release ,and of course the B word scenario what ever that may be. My fear was that I could pick up a HKM Lanc for £340 but a Wingnuts kit may be £500+ in a year so's time, so I bought the former tho would have preferred the latter. (don't like clear fuselage's) Genuine question, has a price been banded around? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavingav1 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 a disappointing new release list for 2019 but we must remember that revell was only saved from closure 6 month ago so a slow year is probably to be expected until the new owners gets a grip of the situation, we may see the addition of some more new tool stuff at the Nuremberg model show or later in the year but still the return of the 48th Phantom and the 32nd harrier has saved us from ebay scalpers and the shackleton mr.3 to modern standards is most welcome -- i give revell a B+ . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revell Germany was never in danger of closing as it was not included as a debtor in the US bankruptcy filing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have a point about the restructuring having some sort of impact. Also we forget then revells core market is in Germany and they have a business model to re-release other manufacturers kits in Revell boxes as these will see in the home market.

MiG-Mech Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Does it make sense still buying ICM and Zvezda or can I wait for Revell reboxing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armadillos Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Well re-pop of 48th Toom, Shack 3 and the Chinook MH-47 (HC3/5) are all nice kits to look forward to next year for me, especially so when the Toom and Shack will no doubt be discounted by a nice amount by retails. May even go in for the 94 Benetton as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the luck of the draw, sometimes in the UK the other kits are cheaper, but sometimes Revell does better decal options. In Germany a Revell boxing will generally sell better. However its worth looking in each case at the price point and whats in the box before deciding which to go for. Julien 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) I wasn't expecting Revell to release a 1:32 Fw 190A-8 Sturmbock. I just wish they'd re-release the 1:32 Bf 109G-10 with Hartmann's decals. Edited January 1, 2019 by Sturmovik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 1/72 Shackleton Mk.3! 😊 And best of all, a 1/48 RAF Phantom for a decent price! Huzzah! Just need a 1/72 Andover/HS748 now. Someone? Anyone!?... (but not vac-form) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaVenom Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I wish they'd retool that Halifax Mk1. Surely all they need is a few new parts such as the wheels, prop blades etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The available correction sets are mainly cosmetic fixes only. It really requires retooling of the wings and nacelles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but it I wouldn't mind if they just did some new correct prop blades and wheels. The blades are the most glaring inaccuracy to me and to a lesser extent the wheels.

That was revells plan some time ago, and they change plans. The Skill level doesnt tell anything about this, since their present A320 is Level 3 as well.

If the site linked by @modelldoc is correct (and they seem very informed) it'll have an engine replica and option for l/h and r/h steering. Nice.
