1:72 BTR-50PK  - and now I'm a happy camper.

 

It's a good news, as some 70 per cent of sprues should be common with the PT-76B, which had to be issued in 2020.

Now I start to believe that the PT-76B (that I'm waiting for) will really appear on the shelves this year 😉

And I start to dream that this is not the last Toxso tooling that Revell will introduce.

...but unfortunately the shape won't be, the Dragon Sea Vixen is a cartoon of the type, even compared to the ancient Frog version

Nobody interested in the Dragon Sea Vixen reissue? It may not be an accurate kit but at least it's a chance to buy a modern kit of the type at a price hopefully much lower than the original.

...no.

Not much for me, maybe the Strike Eagle (depending on accuracy/decals/ordnance), and the reissue of the 8.8 flak maybe. From last year, the Scud looks interesting.  But I feel Revell is doing every year less for me.

Well...

Isn't an new 1/72 scale early, filletless  P-51D an possibillity for Revell to retire their old P-51D from 1962?

Not this year, evidently

[Botan]

I'm  bit disappointed by kits chosen to be released in 1/144 scale. I hoped some older kits with no other kits in mentioned scale would appear, like Fokker 100, which are hard to obtain and have to be search as second-hand.

Nice to see that the two impact-bumper 911s are indeed marked as new tools, and not Fujimi re-pops after all. If they get them right they will be a couple of must-haves for me, especially the Targa.

 

Is something wrong with Fujimi kits? I snatched EM Flat Nose, EM '85 Turbo and EM RS '74 for cheap and I was thinking to convert at least the '85 to a '78 but I can't find any real life picture with Kremer kit installed. I'm well aware that kits of the Turbo 3.8 RSR are a big mess especially all the special versions with race decals (and random sets of rims) as Fujimi completely ignored enlarged fenders, intake ducts on fenders and many other stuff but outside that, it's a starting point if someone want to convert it into a RUF CTR Yellow Bird (lots of pictures online), Wangan Blackbird by stealing parts from Revell 934 kits and lots of guessing due TBK bumper and his hybrid backstage, also you can kinda make a Yoshida Specials 930 with lots of ifs

I like the Fujimi kits a lot, and own a couple. I have no beef with them at all. Was just responding to someone earlier down thread who said it was inconceivable that Revell would do a new tool, so these must be Fujimi.

Not everyone on this site is in the UK hence why @Homebee gives a couple of options.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I know some Cyber Hobby products (Sea King) are not good accuracy-wise, whilst others were good, but expensive (Meteor).

Agreed, but for a European manufacturer, clearly European prices cheaper. Plenty of European vendors to choose from too!

or it was popular?

With the number of errors in the Sea Vixen kit, I have to wonder why it isn't being thoroughly lambasted. Had it been made to the same standard by, let's say, Trumpeter, then you wouldn't be able to see it for the conflagration.
