ScottsGT Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Cool! New decals to boot too! I wonder why all the box differences? I do like the two piece boxes better for holding parts, but my cat really enjoyed the ROG boxes! D.B.

LSP_K2 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Very cool news indeed. Perhaps we'll still eventually see the later Mustang now as well. MikeMaben and Tony T 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 At least you will get the Frenesi scheme in the box. I am still puzzled about the reason behind the fact this was omitted from the European release... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still puzzled about the reason behind the fact this was omitted from the European release... "Frenesi" has a scoreboard consisting of swastikas. In Germany that is problematic because there is legislation regulating that. There is no point in going over "why", that has been hashed and rehashed multiple times on forums for years, but fact remains that they had to avoid any markings containing swastikas. Outside Germany that is not a problem, hence Revell USA can do that. Radu LSP_K2, Out2gtcha, coogrfan and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, the D-5 is the coolest Mustang and it came to Europe around D-Day when there was a lot of fighting. There are so many beautiful colour (and I really mean COLOUR!) schemes, invasion stripes and impressive score boards, but they cannot be issued in Germany because the score boards invariably contain swastikas.

I recall a photo of a huge pile of Tamiya Mustang kits (Dave Johnson), but many folks cannot afford that, so Revell becomes the best alternative for Mustang maniacs that want several.

Rick Griewski Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I hope that Revell corrects the canopy. I am out of Tamiya parts to swap. Anyone heard anything about this improvement? Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The distortions in the clear plastic are only noticeable if you get up real close and stare at them. Alburymodeler and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
