Possible confusion to be had there: there's an F-105D Thunderchief on the list, but the kit no. and the picture are for the Messerchmitt P.1099. I've just e-mailed them and got a reply to the effect that the kit IS an F-105: Revell have apparently re-used an old number for a new kit.

The 1/72 C-121C MATS is something I would be interested in, is it a new tool or is it a re-box of the Heller kit ?

Great, USS Voyager back out, recently got heavily into the Voyager series - never really took to it first time around - Of course my interest in the show has absolutely nothing to do with Jeri Ryan and 'those' costumes !!

Whoa, if it does turn out to be the F-105, that'd be excellent! I hope they won't go cheapskate and just include their standard "Memphis Belle III", but will include a great decal sheet like the 1/48 F-105G got.

If you ever need extra decals for a Thud, drop me a PM. I have far more sheets than kits

Thanks for the offer, Ian.  I may get back to you about that sometime. Because it's the other way round at my place. Lots of kits, but few or no usable decals. Got no real-world Thud build planned at the moment, though.

[OT]I was until I realised why I stopped watching Star Trek in the first place.  The fact that there are just 12 plots endlessly recycled, and the incessant preaching of one set of modern morals.  "Kill this enemy that wants to kill us?  That would be wrong!"[/OT]

I wonder which 1/48 Dornier Do 335 that is.   Was there a Matchbox kit in 1/48? I vaguely remember glueing together (yeah, wasn't much more than that  ) a 1/72 Dornier Pfeil by Matchbox fifteen years or so ago.

Bet it is the old Monogram kit.  Still a nice model.

Revell has posted a 360 degree photo shoot of the Republic Gunship from the Clone Wars series.

Paint seems a little better than the recent kits but I think I'd prefer to strip it and repaint myself. Looks like all doors slide and rear ramp drops. Don't see the noseart girly that was on the Modelstories artwork (maybe done as a decal?). Probably get a couple.

Be interesting to do one up as a present day or even vietnam era project - maybe a few RR Pegasus for lift/propulsion...

Revell 1/72 Mig21 F-13, although this has Neomega seat, Quickboost nosering and Begemot decals.  The kit is well detailed, fit is good, includes bombs, rockets, inert AAMs & drop-tank.  Lots of decal options - 3 Finnish, 1 Russian (all NMF) and 2 East German (1 camo, 1 NMF), ie good fodder for the whif decal stash

A good kit at a good price

Yep, that'a a really lovely kit -  got a couple in the stash. It would also be nice if Revell did some of the later model 21's as well, a decent PF, MF, BiS for example

[pyro-manic]

Been meaning to grab a couple of those for ages. I like the early models much more than the later, wide-nosed versions.
