Homebee Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) On display in the Revell stand at the Nurnberg Toy Fair 2020. Revell is to release a new tool 1/48th Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird kit in 2021 (or later as Revell is not famous for the respect of such deadlines).

Violet Club Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I hope in 1/72 (we are still waiting for a state of the art kit of this iconic airplane. The entire Blackbird family with other birds (A-12, YF-12) would be a great idea !, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.P. 1.Horse´s mouth 2.Inofficially announced during the Revell Press Conference ´19 (-past Telford- )((which I never attend)) 3.The rumor had been world wide around, latest since Tokyo Hobby Show ´19 From my knowledge Jeffrey´s and Revell´s project do roughly have the same status. I think they will not interfere too much on the market. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. GasPatch & Hypersonic Models have "a joint-venture" concerning that project. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234990411-148-lockheed-sr-71a-blackbird-by-hypersonic-gaspatch-models-3d-renders-in-progress-resin-starter-cart-by-aim-released V.P.

Mike Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I don't think we can say conclusively what scale it's going to be unless someone's got more information than us at this stage. My money would be on 1:48, but that's just wishful thinking. Whether there's more perceived need and profit in a 1:48 one I have no idea, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see. It would be good if we could avoid this thread from devolving into a scale war, as there's no correct scale, it's just our preference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scimitar F1 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 To clarify Gaspatch are doing the interior for the Hypersonic kit. The Revell kit will be 1/48th but the Hypersonic kit will feature their usual attention to accuracy. Will 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are enough 72 scale already and only one in 48. Time for the 48'ers to have their cake for a change! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's room for new tools in both scales. Cheers, Andre 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k5054nz Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Everything I've read on Facebook (I know, I know) is that it's 1/48. Roy from Barracuda was one of the posters I saw, the first in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scimitar F1 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I had it from a very good (and logical) source. I do not want to name names in case they were told in confidence. Will 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Poultney Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I'm hoping 1/72 because I'd buy that, a modern tooling of the SR-71 in the best scale (no offence to any 1/48 modellers out there but 1/72 is the one true scale!). 1/48 would take up too much shelf space to justify 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One 48 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I hope its 1/48 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I would say 1/48th, given that the display card/box is placed between all the other 1/48th stuff, and is of the same size roughly as the other 48th stuff... 1/72nd appears to be to the right side of the stand.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Would be very welcome in 48th, and for me totally unexpected! Time to stock on Caracal Decals? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black, or various degrees of fading/weathering to shades of grey, but no blue. Very different kind of paint than for example on early U-2C's.

DarrenH Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Cant wait to see both these SR-71’s... Hoping Revell will not screw the pooch like they did with the big Hornet.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping Revell will not screw the pooch like they did with the big Hornet.. That’s harsh! There aren’t any major problems with the big F/A-18E. I’d take it over the Trumpeter version. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
