Revell (Revell of Germany and Monogram)

[James]

The Heinkel He 115, Supermarine Stranraer, Macchi C.200 and P-26A Peashooter look very tempting. 

[Dizzyfugu]

He 115 and Stranraer are Matchbox kits, re-boxed. I'd assume that the P-26 is the vintage Monogram kit (which had been on sale under RoG many years before).

The He 115 could be the Frog tooling.  Revell have released it before as they own the Frog tool.

      Did Monogram have the P-26? All I ever recall was the old Revell P-26.

You can download the instructions for the RoG Harrier GR.7/9 from the RoG web site.
The decals are for IV(R) Sqn special for the British Harrier retirement fly past Dec 2010
And 'Lucy' of 1(F) Sqn Afganistan 2007
Hope that helps

Just spotted in my LHS, a Douglas A-20J/Boston IV in 1:72. Any ideas/opinions on this one? It's not a type I'm particularly interested in, but you don't see many Boston/Havoc kits around.

[The Wooksta!]

It may be the Matchbox tool but without looking at it, I can't confirm.  Frog did one, as well as Airfix.  Revell did one too, but IIRC it had a solid nose only and came out in there Revell style late Matchbox boxes.

It's an aircraft that's never interested me, although I've an Airfix one somewhere to do as a 633 Sqn aircraft (they were flying them before they got Mosquitos in the first book).

Airfix and Frog made a Mk.III, Matchbox (and the Revell rebox of it) did the Mk.IV which was the one with the Martin dorsal turret in place of the manually operated guns the earlier version had.

I beleive its the MPM kit and you get markings for No 13 Squadron, No. 232 Wing, Royal Air Force, Italy 1944 and 646th Bomb Squadron, 410th Bomb Group, 9th AF, USAAF, Gosfield, England, June 1944 and it look really nice.

Not the first time Revell have snuck out an MPM kit in their boxing.

[NARSES2]

I've got a couple of the MPM boxings.....very nice

Ah, thanks. Not bad for £15, then.

A tone seen the sprue shots of the 1/32 scale Mk88 Lynx.....?? Looks very good.....
