AlanG Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 A quick question to anyone who may have some knowledge regarding Revell and their moulds. I am a big fan of the Ju88 and the He111. Obviously in 1/32 scale Revell are the only game in town. Does anyone know as to why they are not re-releasing their kits of these aircraft? They were received very well with the public and trying to find any at a decent price is like pulling hens teeth. I am lucky i have got a Ju88 A4 kit but as of yet the He111 H6 kit has eluded me. They seem to command totally insane prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Good question. A rerelease of these and a few other kits would surely generate a profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I wish I had Revell insight. I'd like to know if/when they're going to release Special Hobby's Tempest Mk II without PE and less than $100+. Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oyoy5 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 The P-51D late is on its way this year but I would love to see the Ju 88A-4 and He 111H-6. Both of those kits were very good and I would think would sell a lot better than the F-18 Super Bug which is still available but a tough build.

Rick Griewski Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I agree Sean, The Ju-88A kits are a great build. Pastor John has a great selection on conversion sets but no (donor) kits are available. I have V-1 buzz bombs but no He 111 kit. I want Revell to re-release at least the sprues in a box for both kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuben L. Hernandez Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Man, if Revell ever decided to re-mold the P-51B, up to their latest standards. They can print their own money. Imagine, a great fitting kit, with a decent detailed cockpit and decals at an affordable price. Holy crap, they can roll in the armoured trucks.

LSP_Mike Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 From what I remember, the shot- callers at Revell are too smart to release a P 51B. They may very well be too smart to re- release the Ju 88, He 111, He 162, and Ar 196. AlanG, MikeMaben, jgrease and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Im just waiting for the Razor crest! but yeah a P-51B in the same standard/price as their current D would make a killing. There has to be a reason that no one is making them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Is Revell coming out with a Razor Crest too? AMT has announced a 1/72 one. https://www.culttvmanshop.com/PREORDER-Razor-Crest--Star-Wars-The-Mandalorian--172-scale--PRICE-TBA--PREORDER-RESERVATION-_p_6736.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oyoy5 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Not sure what Revells thoughts are but the Ju 88A-4 and He 111H-6 would sell a crap ton so what are they waiting for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if it is of any interest when I spoke to them in 2019 I suggested they take a look at doing the entire family of 51's. In particular the A/B/C versions and they were not averse to it. I was told that they'd already had discussions about them. So, no guarantees, but it seems at least someone has thought about the idea which at least should give some hope for the future no matter how small the chances.

Lud13 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 And what to say about their new tool 109s. Bf 109G-6 is still available and going strong but Erla G-10 boxing are nowhere to be found. And the kit is constructed that any Gustav can be made with some additional sprues...Imagine G-1/3/5 OR G-5/6/14AS OR G-12 or.... But unfortunately they remain blind at chance to make good sales because any 109 subtype will be sold like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
