Revell 2012

I'm surprised they repopped the Flower.  Of course, it'd go well in a full-blown diorama with the Type VIIC class U-Boat, and various smaller scale merchantmen

For the same reason, you get some new Skyhawk (what version is it gonna be?) from Airfix even though there's the perfectly fine Fujimi kit.

True, but a) Can you find one and b) Could you afford it when you have found it? Airfix is aiming at a different market than Fujimi.

Some interesting stuff.

Remember re the Revell Canberra PR9, it'll sell well because the marketing will be very good. Most punters couldn't care less which is best...and if the Airfix one can't leap off a shelf, they'll buy Revell.

I'm pleased to see a Bf109G-6 in 1:32 (rapidly becoming my 'scale-of-choice' for (real world) WWII single engined types), it should be affordable, accurate and readily available, (even in NZ). Also, I've been stalking any number of old Esci and Italeri 1:24 Ferrari 250 SWB's on eBay for at least two years and they've all sold for ridiculous prices. Glad to see Revell are going to bring it back... hope they'll do the same with the 365 Daytona aswell !!

Really glad to see some of the re-releases, especially the AR555- This time I'll buy more than one money permitting, and the '115 and Stranraer, I used to have the Matchbox bersion of the '115 and liked it a lot so plans for the seaplanes. I wonder if the T50 will be a bit cheaper that if it was in a Zvezda box.  BUT, as with other comments made by fellow members, I'm also disappointed about the release schedule again this year.

It sells very well in the R/C model boat market. A well detailed model large enough to hold some decent batery-motor-radio gear that's easy to build is pretty rare. Plus there's a load of add-on stuff available for it too.

Some of which they are including in the kit such as etch detail set and a wooden deck

Anyone else seen this?, will it be the end of good new releases.
