Guest Peterpools Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Revell's P-51 has my name all over the box! I've built four tamiya Mustangs and can easily see three or more revel Mustangs in the coral. I'm hoping Roy at Barracuda work's his magic on the front office the second the Mustang is on the shelves. Yup, the old painted wing syndrome ... but the good point is the wings doesn't seem to have panel lines or rivets, saving a lot of time enjoying removing them with filler and loads of wet sandpaper.

Rick K Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Nice 1/32 stuff. Price points always good. Sure wish their Ju88 would get some love for G6, C6, 188 versions. Alburymodeler, mpk, Wackyracer and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Thirded. Can't beat German engineering. And fourthed. I've had a few 1:32 Revell kits that are really awesome (the Ju 88A-4 pops to mind). Rick Griewski and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cees Broere Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Was looking at the Tamiya Spit and Mustang last weekend but the price of around 160 euro's put me off. I wanted to wait for the new Revell offerings and I like what I see thus far. And March is very close already. mpk and David66 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 I wish I'd waited a year or so before using the Tamiya P-51 to build a Korean F-51 , an expensive project that really need a cheaper model as its base , The Tamiya kit is simply too expensive and detailed to be built closed up as I wanted my model to be .. Ah well we live and learn! mpk and David66 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 OOO, another night fighter !!......Harv Yes but why not the Bf110G-4?

MikeC Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I'll have the Spitfire: perhaps they will have corrected the fuselage shape (CAD flow-through I'm informed) from the Mk II, but if not, no big deal. My intention is to use the Alley cat PR XI conversion on this kit rather than cutting holes in my expensive Tamiya plastic. Come to think of it, why didn't Revell simply release a PR XI, or any PR variant? Oh, and I may be tempted by the P-51 as well.

Artful69 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 OOO, another night fighter !!......Harv As much as I hate to admit it ... my thoughts exactly! I'll have the Spitfire: perhaps they will have corrected the fuselage shape (CAD flow-through I'm informed) from the Mk II ... Judging by the panel line shading in the photo, they've still gone with the heavy riveting and overly accented panel lines though Rog mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ade rowlands Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Well I'll certainly be getting the 190. Fits right in with my current nightfighter obsession. Lud13 and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) I almost fell asleep looking at those new releases.... a WTF? moment with the wings on the P-51 woke me up a bit, but I am afraid its more of the same aircraft. Lucky we have WnW, Italeri and other companies doing some different stuff. Eric. I couldn't agree more. Yawn. I won't touch any. How about a Val. They fought at Midway, Revell, dontchaknow??? I'd rather save up and get a decent kit. The Ju88 is the last A/C from Revell I bought. Cannot see myself buying another. Other choices, Wildcat, Nate, Kate, Oscar, Yak's, La 7 etc etc. I always remember the war in the east. So neglected. Pitiful. Another mustang. Yay.
