Revell (Revell of Germany and Monogram)

[The Wooksta!]

No, it'll be the old Frog tool, which Revell have regularly repopped since they bought the tooling when Frog went bust.

It's got a reasonable outline and it's a decent blank canvas to work on.  An Fw 190 cockpit will fit and the spare canopies from an Academy or Italeri Fw 190D will fit nicely.  The spinner needs replacing too.

RAF Ventura II
Stearman
1:48 both.
And the rumor is the Stearman is a new tool.

when will Revell reveal its new 2014 releases, this weekend at SMW maybe?

Saw this:



I saw a test shot of the X-Wing at the US Nats in August.  Nice size though why not 32nd?

[PR19_Kit]

Some good 1/25 car re-pops there! 

Not seen the Anglia Panel Van for a while.

Remember not so long ago when we were looking forward to what Revell Germany would try to release of SMW or announce some interesting kits in 1/72nd ?

I suspect we'll see the 4th quarter relaease (Jan-Mar 2014) news come out at SMW, but given the current trend its likey to be more of the same with re-pops, re-boxings, larger scale stuff or Cars as Revell(USA) now pulling the strings. Trouble is i get the feeling it will be more of the same when the rest of next year line is announced at the end of the year

I'm surprised they haven't come out with a 1/72 Airbus A310 MRRT, starting to build my BAe 844 and found the A310 is only a couple of inches longer, practically the same fuselage diameter and the wing span is about the same as the A400M

Not a single thing there that appeals to me.  Very disappointing.

Nor me Pyro, unfortunately I fear Geoff is correct in his assumptions

That release sheet is for Revell-US only, and my Anglo-Euro brethren shouldn't read too much into it.
Just as the Revell-Germany newsletters don't reflect Revell-US releases, this sheet doesn't show
European market 'coming attractions'.

Nor is Revell-US now "pulling the strings", the divisions of Revell remain as separate business units
under the ownership of Hobbico, a large manufacturer and importer/distributor of hobby products.
Not unlike the way Airfix is a brand/division of Hornsby.

They will reveal the first quarter releases at a press conference in Bünde on November 15th. The full list for 2014 will be revealed on modellversium.de on New Year's Day.

Thanks for the clarification, I did think it was a bit "auto heavy" for a European release sheet

[Captain Canada]

The Patton looks nice....I like those old-school model kits. I wish my LHS would get more in. I bug him to but....

Read on DPMV that the NOTAR MD520 has been replaced by the ex Matchbox BK117 in Space Ship markings with the same Kit Number. Anyone know if this just a delay or has the NOTAR been cancelled?
