Jackman Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I'd rather Revell downsize their 1/48 Rafales to 1/72 scale. Especially the Rafale M. The Italeri kit is outdated and the Hobbyboss kits are undersized. Why do we need another F-15E? 🤔 Maybe to conquer the European market since Revell kits might be cheaper there than Academy, Hasegawa, GWH? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 "We" probably don't need another F-15E. I certainly don't. But we are not the whole of the market. The real point being, does Revell need an F-15E in its range - as in will it sell enough to make a profit? The enthusiastic modellers who know all the kits available and where to find them are obviously a good market, but lots of other people buy models. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas V. Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Decade ago or even earlier than that, when Revell produced kits with excellent quality/price ratio would say great, but after Hobbico brand degradation + GWH and Academy new tools makes truely no sense, but unfortunately sense is what company lacks for years now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise, but unfortunately superlative Rafale tooling was done by ACE of S.Korea in partial CAD, can it be after 23 years useful as basis for updated Rafale kit don't know, have serious doubts. New tooled Rafale in 72nd scale would be no brainer for any company. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 New tooled Rafale in 1/32 scale would be very welcome by this modeler. One of the best looking fighters around. Rumor has it Kittyhawk will make one but we'll just have to wait and see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) Why is it literally impossible for anyone to announce a new kit without a lot of whining immediately afterwards that they should have done something completely different? If you don't want to buy a newly announced subject, you don't have to buy it. The only people who are owed anything by the manufacturer are those who buy the kit.

Grayhawk Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Sorry guys, but I don't agree with naysayers, I'm with 'Work in Progress'. A while ago you could find the 48th Revell F-15E at Hobby Lobby or Michael's here in the USA for anywhere from $29 to $39. Now they are running in the $50 range. A US boxing of a Revell AG kit in 72nd would be way less expensive than an Academy, Hobby Boss, or Great Wall kit. I know the hype about the different Asian kits of the "Mud Hen" but if this gets us closer to a "True" F-15A/B/C/D as well as an 'E' in 72nd from Revell AG, I'm all for it. The 48th F-15E is one of their nicest kits Revell's done, even though its been around for a few years. You can nitpick any kit to death but the question is does it look like what it's supposed to be and the Revell Strike Eagle looks it. Sign me up for a half dozen or more. My only question is will you be able to build an F-15EX out of the kit? I believe that most of the mods are internal so it may be possible. Here's hoping... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroubos Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 If anything it will probably be cheaper than the other recent kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the F-15E cause I was planning to fix Hasegawa Eagles by stealing parts from it [insert manufacturer here] would do a better job As long they don't bait and switch like many others do I'm fine, but I think that Revell will probably forget about a proper A variant anyway, or make an A~ish variant by using museum samples which are poisoned by the ineptitude of their own curators Will there be any aftermarket Isn't there?

Aardvark Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Spoke a lot! We will be more specific in our analysis. If the new set of Revell rescaled their model at 48th ... how competitive would it be against other manufacturers at 72nd scale? B.R.

John Hear, hear! I also like reading comments with constructive (and non-constructive) arguments, on whether a company should produce another new mold of a popular aircraft, in any scale. Do we need another 1/72 F-15? Well, if it is more accurate than the ones already available on the market, or, if it is cheaper, and if you don't need to buy some (a bunch, actually!!!) aftermarket sets to improve it then, yes, we do need it. I know, aftermarket sets are (for some, including myself) half the fan of scale modelling but, it doesn't hurt once in a while to build a quality kit out of the box.
