Juggernut Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Before anyone gets uppity and bent out of shape, this new kit IS the RoG RF-4C plastic with special decals like what was shown at the IPMS Nationals in Las Vegas this year. Not my cup-o-whiskey (I don't drink tea). At $130, I'm sure that this one may be sitting in stock for quite awhile but that's just my guess. No idea on the production run either.

John1 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Yikes. $130 for the clunky old Revell kit and some new decals? I shudder to think what their new tool kits will cost. jgrease 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I was told at the nationals that the new kits will cost around $300.00! Mike Mr.T, Kagemusha, Fanes and 4 others 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger2614 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 And a 3-piece upgrade set, which has resin wheels for the Tamiya kit? At least the fin cap and photo-flash bays are nice, but in my opinion both sets should have been included in the boxing to justify that price tag. Swing and a miss, for me. I even have this kit on the bench right now, and it needs more help than they're providing. Rick Griewski, Youngtiger1 and jgrease 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Just saw the RF-4C, and just completely don’t get it. Don’t in any universe see that this is worth $130. LSP_K2 and jgrease 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoyguy Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) Just...an unfathomable marketing ploy to kick off a new line of kits. Why slap the name of your new line onto a repop that's 1)overpriced 2) has nothing to do with a new tooled, new line of kits and 3)doesn't even include the upgrade parts that you are peddling? Regardless of what you think of the Revell Phantoms ( I kinda like them for what they are, at the RIGHT price), this is not the way to do it. Not. Very. Wellthoughtout. And it just struck me, the extras they are shilling add up to another $89. Yeah, I'm all in...

thierry laurent Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Insane business strategy to me! The Revell RF-4C is becoming rare but does not justify such an amount! LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I would buy the decal sheet separately for $30, as I already own the RF-4C kit. but no way I'm paying 100 for the kit, plus another $20 to ship a big box. Youngtiger1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I’m not sure the decal sheet is even worth $30. They sell their decals for $27, and since they are only for a single aircraft, it doesn’t seem much of a deal compared to the multiple option, multiple sheet decals you can get from AOA and others for a lower price. Have to say, this does make one question the ability to deliver a completely new tool über line of 1/32 F-4s for a reasonable price. But, I guess we’ll see. Either it will happen or it won’t.
