Southern Bandit Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 This month perhaps. According to Jadlam in UK, price £59.95 discounted from £69.95, this release was delayed, perhaps because of the noticeably wrong spine shape and flat profile? the pictures in this link might be old ones, so not sure if this has been remedied or not? I'll wait until I see sprue shots first before deciding, but it would be a nice Christmas present treat if it is corrected for release. https://www.jadlamracingmodels.com/revell-f-a-18e-super-hornet-04994-1-32-aircraft-model-kit/ LSP_K2, Jan_G and MikeMaben 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomprobert Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Revell have a test shot on their stand at Telford. I asked when setting up yesterday evening about the release date and he said late December or early January. I don’t know enough about the Hornet to comment on accuracy, but it certainly looks like a stunning model. According to the rep I spoke to yesterday, it will retail for £79.95.

Tom Why pay that when you can get it for £20 less here? https://www.jadlamracingmodels.com/revell-f-a-18e-super-hornet-04994-1-32-aircraft-model-kit/ Dealt with these guys many times afore, they are fair traders with fast delivery too.

Or... wait a year or two and many retailers will be knocking them out in the sub-£50 region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloorwestSiR Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 It's $79.99 CAD at Great Hobbies so not a bad price. I prefer the F so will wait and see if they do that one before picking one up. Carl Jolly Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They showed what were described as final test shots in Omaha a year and a half ago. A quick look at the photos wil reveal all you need to know. the spine was laughable...among other things. IE it was not just wrong..it was way wrong... There have been no images of the adjusted tooling “if” they even bothered fixing it with all the dramas Revell have endured. After the F-4G im not holding my breath or selling my Trumpeter Super Hornets.. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Bandit Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 We'll know soon I guess, still waiting for sprue shots, but if indeed that is corrected and all is as good as recent Revell releases ... its a great price and will be a good seller, love the scheme they have chosen too so here is hoping the decal quality is good too.
