Kagemusha Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Here Interesting the Kaydet's origins aren't mentioned, so perhaps the Hurricane isn't all shiny and new. MikeC, Out2gtcha, LSP_K2 and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall this was announced for 2020 and from the pic at the time it looked like a re-release of their Cub. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 There's a Bf 109 G-2/4 as well. Is that a rework of the G-6 kit or somebody else's kit in a Revell box? Hoping the Hurricane is new tool, but time will tell. The racer is based on the Piper PA-18 kit, but they were at one time planning to do a modern racer.

Andreas Beck Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) G-2/4 is the last variant of the 109 series. There will NEITHER be A tropical filter NOR wing gondolas! Hurricane is all new. "Racer" MIGHT BE the Extra 300 which was announced two or three years ago. AFAIK it was to be a snap tite.

Out2gtcha Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Having built a resin 32nd Extra 330, it's dinky even in 1/32nd, but with so many options for schemes I'd be in for an IM Extra for sure. Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkwrench Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Why do they have the AH-1G with a ICM tag, but listed under Revell??? Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim It's a re-boxing of the ICM kit, which is more expensive than the Special Hobby release with the extra resin. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It‘s the Piper PA-18 with phantasy decals based on (kids?) drawings submitted in an online competition a while ago. It was on their Facebook page some months ago. Nothing that the even slightly serious modeller would even remotely consider, and I frankly wonder about the point of reissuing a fairly complex, non-fighter-jet kit with cr*p decals… KiwiZac, MikeMaben and Out2gtcha 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 13 hours ago, Jennings Heilig said: Revell, according to two independent sources who have worked with them in the past, is not doing any more new tool plastic kits. Their SR-71 that's due out shortly was started by their in-house designer several years ago, and frequently delayed. He died suddenly, leaving Revell looking for the CAD files that he'd done, which were finally located. From everything I'm hearing, that is the last totally new tool Revell plastic model aircraft kit you're likely to see for the foreseeable future. Reboxes of other manufacturers' kits and reissues of their own tooling, but nothing new from Revell. The project was launched and supervised by long term Revell project manager Volker Vahle who is very alive but who either just retired or will retire shortly. So myabe there's still a chance for new injection molded kits from Revell in the future... Tony T, Rick Griewski and Pete Fleischmann 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reboxes of other manufacturers' kits and reissues of their own tooling, but nothing new from Revell. Your "two independent sopurces" are lying to you. Eckhart, the in-house designer who designed many great models such as the FW 190 or the Ar 196 (to name just a few) had finished the work on the SR-71 long before he died. Eckhart died in the spring of this year, by which time the tooling for the SR-71 was already in progress. Revell is working on new molds. Later this year they are releasing a 1/72 F-15, which is a completely new tool that was designed last year and tooled this year. I am looking at the test shots on my desk right now as I write this. They are also releasing a 1/72 Razor Crest, which is a brand new tool also. Radu KiwiZac, Out2gtcha, Rick Griewski and 6 others 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the Revell sprues for the SR-71 and the 1/72 F-15 in person, and the F-15 specifically is indeed a new tool kit. - Dennis S.

Andreas Beck Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 ....and it is not unfair to tell that the design of the Hurricane and the Strike Eagle (at least) come from the same dedicated soul, brain and hands as the Me 262s and the P-51. nmayhew, Fanes, Tony T and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbooyv8 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 That's good news - I was hoping that would be the case. Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
