And before anyone asks:

1.  The C-17 has just gone out for tooling quotes, and no, I don't know (nor does Revell) for sure when it will be out.

2.  No, decals for the C-17 haven't been decided yet.

3.  No, it doesn't have any interior like the An-124 (which was fantastically expensive to produce).  It does have a basic cockpit and cargo bay, but that's it.

4.  Yes, the Mossie is a completely new tool.   Nothing whatever in common with Tamiya.

5.  No, Revell (nor anyone else) are about to do a 1/144 Tu-144, An-12/24/26, Convair, or ERJ-145. Ivo is doing those projects 'for fun' (he's a sick man).  Not to say none will ever see the light of day, just not imminently.

6.  Yes, Minicraft are still doing the PBM Mariner.  But the owner of the company just died, and his wife is carrying on.  There may be some delay in new products as a result.

There, I think I've covered the major questions that will come up :)

Actually, I'm pretty sure that A-Model announced they were doing a 1/144 An-2x series.

I like the PBM, but that 1/350 Noah's Ark has got some potential too.  1/700 HMS Habbakuk, anyone?

How do they know that Noah's ark looked like that??

I think Narses gave them some sketches from when he helped build the original.

Do you not have the Detail & Scale book on Noah's ark?  You really need to expand your library :)

Actually no I missed that volume. I was more interested in the 'Pimp my war chariot' edition that was out at the time.. :thumbsup:

Quote3.  No, it doesn't have any interior like the An-124 (which was fantastically expensive to produce).  It does have a basic cockpit and cargo bay, but that's it.

This suggests it can be built with the rear ramp open. Is that true?
