IT_Man Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Hearing rumours that Revell will be bringing us a Hurri IIB in "September '22". Can't see they've done a IIB before, so could be a new tooling? Not sure they'd rebox the FLY one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepureness Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 a modern tooled 1/32 Hurricane is the top of my wish list, as long as this isn't their old tooling from the 60/70s when ever it was then this is superb news 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaotic Mike Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Even as we speak, I am wrestling the Fly kit into submission, lots of resin and PE, also (sadly) lots of flash. But I think it will build into a nice representation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new tool 1/32 scale Hurricane would definitely be welcome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 This would be greet news, I have built the old Revell Mk.I kit and am building a PCM Mk.I at the moment so a new tool Hurricane would be gratefully accepted (and bought) Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Roberts Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Not getting my hopes up on this one - if they can re-issue a Mk I as a Mk IIc, they can re-issue it as a Mk IIb as well. Not much difference in lack of attention to detail change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branky Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 On that listing Gary got there is lots of NEW like the Monogram 1/48 Liberator. With Revell in my experience NEW is when there are new decals and a new boxing around it... I can see half the ICM range (O-2, AH1, B26 Invader, Tiger Moth etc) as well as Zvezda (BN757-200 Iron Maiden Livery ) Yak-130 and B787-9 (Lufthansa) All Mentioned NEW. Also NEW is the Hunter FGA9 1/144 and a 1/72 A400 with RAF markings... So lets se what will realy be NEW ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGER HOBBIESLIMITED Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Thats what they have told me as the amount we would buy would be based on if this was a brand new tooling, i would be a bit narked if it was a re-boxing of the 1969 version. If it was a re-issue that i expect the price would be sub £30.00 RRP not Mid 40's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IT_Man Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 Things have started appearing on Hannants now. Military vehicles so far, but looks like a lot of ICM so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branky Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Oh BTW the 1/48 Liberator is the B24D variant.. Not the -J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the -J I'm looking at the Liberator and I'm thinking this could be potentially a new tooling. First of all, the price is at £78.99. This is far too expensive for a tooling from the 1980s and new box. The RRP is closer to that of the 1/48 Blackbird new tooling. I know they re-issues the B-29 with a load of aftermarket at around £100 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I wonder if price is any indication to what's in the box now that 'inflation' is once more in the news. Even if it isn't affecting the model manufacturers, it is a splendid cover story for a price hike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branky Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Well, About prices. The list of 2022 novelties of Revell we're now discussing about came with a message to the retail from Revell which said: "Dear valued Partner, As you may have heard from the news/media the situation on the global procurement markets continue to be tense. Cost prices for raw materials and components, relevant for our product assortment, such as ABS, polystyrene, paper, copper, metal, and semiconductors have double digit percentage increases. In addition, cost for logistics (especially for imported goods), for energy and for labour in the manufacturing countries have significantly increased or even exploded. As a consequence, we are forced to amend our prices further. For details please see price list effective 01.01.2022 attached. Orders received prior to December 31, 2021, with requested shipping date not later than February 2022 will be invoiced at current prices. We regret to give you no other information at this point, but economic constraints and our commercial responsibility do not allow any other course of action. We thank you for your understanding and look forward to a continued partnership in the future. Best regards ppa. Marko Rachner Sales Director International " This is then after a price rise last September of around 10% So thinking that Revell will release a new B24 in 1/48 just because the price seems steep is wishful thinking i am afraid. And now you know not to wait too long when you want to buy some Revell kits. You have been warned! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monogram B-24J is from the mid 70's. The B-24D was a modification of this tooling. A new tooling I'm sure would get far more hype, and would likely be in the price realms of the HK B-17 and Lancaster kits. One thing that old B-24J would really benefit from is a decent set of turrets, without a split in the glazing..... A new tool Hurricane is more believable, and bear in mind, the Mk.IIB (and A, but it's not a difficult backdate) is the most commonly photographed variant used by the Soviets, and Russia is a big place, I'm still surprised that Zvezda didn't got for this version in their recent kit. I've not seen a decent photo of a VVS IIC where the markings are visible, but they did have significant amount on the IIC, though they were used by the Air Defence units (PVO) like most of the Spitfire IX's were, and photos of them likewise are very very rare.

Piotr Mikolajski Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 3 hours ago, Troy Smith said: A new tool Hurricane is more believable Hurricane has the same price as rebox of Boeing PT-17 Kaydet from ICM. This would be really cheap brand new Hurricane in 1/32. Reissue of their old Piper PA-18 Super Cub as "Sports Plane Builders Choice 2021" costs 31 GBP and this is 2021 price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that may be a bit unfair. The cost of shipping alone is very volatile at the moment. I read of a manufacturer who allegedly can't release a kit because of the stupid costs for shipping. If it's too expensive, don't buy it, then they don't make a profit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
