Revell (Revell of Germany and Monogram)

Really...really...really...really want an E.555, or 2. Been looking for one ofr 2 years and not a bratwurst. So many possibilities for one incuding a space vehicle, and a submersible, both for SHADO.

Word is that the next 1/32 RoG Luft-twin is the He 219.

[The Wooksta!]

I have that on good authority.  Heard the whisper last year but was sworn to secrecy.

Will be nice to see it scaled down to 72nd as per the Ju-88 to replace their Old kit in the same scale, for that matter will we see the He-111 in 1/72 in the 2012/13 release schedule ?.

Wouldn't be too surprised if they did - Revell never did an He 111 and all of those that they've released under the Revell label have been other mnaufacturer's tools: Italeri (their tie in in the 70s), Frog and latterly Hasegawa.

As for the He 219.  They've repopped the horrid Frog one (with some newly tooled exhausts, oddly), possibly to guage demand but more likely to get some money from an old tool taking valuable warehouse space.  Shame, because their own He 219 was a much better if rivetty kit.  They never boxed the Lindberg kit either.

Fantastic looking machine, but limited in colour/marking schemes. I would like to have seen the Hs129 in 1:32. Lots of armament variations including the down-firing magnetically triggered mines and that vast 75mm PAK. Some interesting desert and winter schemes too.

Ahh well.

The new revell 1/600 scale Star Trek 'Original Series' Enterprise and Klingon battlecruiser have been released BTW

[Green Dragon]

Hope the detail on the Enterprise isn't the trenches shown in the boxart! http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/RV4880
You could almost fly an X-Wing down those things! Probably get one as I've done most of the Trek kits.
The Klingon looks like a hybrid of the TV and Movie ships (TV shape with movie panel details added) but I'll prob get that too. http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/RV4881

Now THAT statement conjours up a hell of an image!!!!!

And since when has that stopped you doing your thing on such machines Ian?

They may not be Death Star trench deep on the production models, one would hope.

TBH, Kit, unless somebody gave me a 1:32 kit for gratis, I don't think I'll ever do one in a 'what if' scheme - I've heard folks here and elsewhere bemoaning the fact that I build 'What Ifs' in 1:48... something about it being a waste of money and/or a good kit  .

In contrasting the Hs219 & Hs129, I was merely trying to make the point, that in terms of colours and markings, the Henschel has a wee bit more going for it... but then what do I know ??, it wouldn't have crossed my mind to release a 1:32 Arado floatplane either... wonder how many of those they've sold, have actually been built ??

Revell's offerings in 1:32 are the only ones I'd actually consider - they're much, much more reasonably priced than any other manufacturer. £30~ish for a large kit like the Hunter, Arado, Ju-88 etc is superb value for money IMO. Any other company would charge three times that! I much prefer the idea of a more "basic" large kit. Most "serious" modellers seem to spend vast sums on aftermarket resin etc. anyway, so what's the point of stuffing the base kit full of detail if it's just going to be thrown away? Those who want to hyper-detail can fill their boots, while those who don't can buy the kit and be happy building it OOB.

I'd just be happy if they cut new molds for the F-106...in 72d/48th/32d.
