In the illustration there is an early Bf 109G-6 with low tail, old canopy, early bulges and tall antenna mast. Would it be the old G-10 or a modified kit with a new fuselage and canopy? When the G-10 was released I was looking that it was designed so that other subtypes would be easy to adapt from it. Sseason greetings!, AaCee My bet is that it will be their G-10. A G-6 would require a complete retooling of fuselage, cockpit and wings. So I guess Revell won't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas V. Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Its not a bad selection, compared to some years earlier, I would especially applaud re-release of Junkers F.13 and Hawk, as well as Ju 88A-1, and as mentioned we'll get few more surprises down the line( Nurnberg+last quarter of the year), but after Hobbico's price hike of between 25 and 40%, Revell is losing its ground throughout Europe, simply they are overpriced both for distributor/retailer and consequently for the buyer. Its the biggest price hike since Dragon and Hasegawa of 2009, and we can all see where mentioned brands are now on the market. Edited January 5, 2020 by Thomas V.

Denford Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Unclear - hopefully others will know better - if the Ju88A-1 being issued separately or (so far?) only as part of the Battle of Britain set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would seem odd to issue a revised tool via a gift set only, makes more sense for it to be issued separately earlier in the year as announced previously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both variants have been announced by Toxso for the 2016 introduction and they never appeared as such. On the other hand their level of detailing far outweighs everything that Revell has accustomed us to for many years. If Revell came into possession of all Toxso 1:72 AFV toolings we should expect the first decent Braille scale injected kit of ZSU-23-4 in 2021 👏 Cheers Michael i was hoping Revell would introduce a long barrelled M109 (but an A1/2/3!), it will be interesting to see if the new M109 is a variation on the original Revell tooling or an original (Toxso) version And if it is the Toxso can the A2 be next?

TonkaGuy Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Looking forward to the 1/72 F-16 and the F14. Shame the retirement Tonka isn’t 1/72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 There's a couple of kits I'm glad to see, the Beau and 188 being the prominent ones. Don't forget that they're also still coming back from bailing themselves out after the former US owners went bust. Give 'em time, and hopefully they'll come up with more interesting new tools for us all 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABeck Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I was just told that the forthcoming repop of the Dragon Ju 188 will be the Ju 188 A-1 version (same as the limited re-issue by Dragon, see above). The Revell boxing will come with new variants/decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WV908 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Does anyone know when the Tornado GR.4 boxing is due to appear please? I know it was due in June, but I'm guessing it's been set back? I have a bunch on order and frequent trips to the vet with my Lab have drained the modelling budget this month somewhat. Cheers, WV908 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I don't know about Dragon Ju 188:s or Tonkas... But I picked my three Revell 1:72 Ju 88 A-1:s from my post office an hour ago, and I'm a happy modeller now 🙂 The dreaded flimsy blue boxes are gone, replaced by flimsy black boxes! The Modellversium in-box review explains the plastics part of the new kit well enough, no need to dig deeper into that. Here's a comparison view of A-1 instructions on the left, A-4 on the right. I like the new ones. Not to mention the difference in painting instructions! There are two pages of colour instructions per both decal options; both sideviews with detail inserts like seen above, and full upper and lower surface views. Excellent!

Eric Mc Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I have the Ju 88 on a backorder with Hannants. It hasn't arrived in stock there yet - which seems a bit strange as the kit seems to be generally available now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
