MikeC Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Just spotted these in my Hannants newsletter: Gladiator https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/RV3846 Hawk T2 https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/RV3852 The Gladiator is, of course, ICM, and Revell have form in reboxing their kits. But the Hawk? I assume it will be a rebox of the Kinetic kit, but can anyone confirm?

geedubelyer Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Interesting. Could the Hawk be a re-boxed Kinetic kit? I like the idea of a mainstream IM Gladiator. It might fall short of the lovely ICM kit (unless Revell have bought the ICM molds) but it's likely to be a bit more affordable too. Thanks for the heads-up Mike.

nmayhew Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 the gladiator is the ICM kit - at least that is what it says in the Hannants link geedubelyer and MikeC 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 The Hawk is very probably the Kinetic kit. This is one of the rare kits from them that has not yet been reboxed by someone else. MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonH Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Hmmm, interesting. Is the Kinetic Hawk T2 any good? Asking for a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Yes, this is a sound model. Kagemusha and DonH 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royboy Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Revell are still in the 'adjustment' mode in their transition from the U.S parent so I suspect 2021 will not be that exciting for LSP builders as in previous years. AFAIK the only 1/32 Hawk T2 is the Kinetic kit and regardless it's nice to see it coming back. I hope that the new LSP tooling situation will be more numerous for Revell in 2022/3 and that the QC will improve as they continue their new journey. My attention seems to be concentrating more on the potential in Central Europe right now, and is much more interesting for me! Companies like IBG/ICM as well as Infinity are taking the lead now, a new era is unfolding and I like it!!
