thierry laurent Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 This reminds me the 21st century model. Even the box scheme is identical. However the expensive price is puzzling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tissue and Dope Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 It’s a good way to get youngsters interested. My 10 year old grandson is really into Technic Lego ( which involves no painting) and I shall be getting him this kit in order to hopefully steer him towards this kind of subject ( someone appreciative has to inherit my stash ;-). jeroen_R90S and Paul in Napier 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but not for that price as the 'normal' kit is 40% less expensive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Interesting... I wonder if they fixed the front cowl and the bulges. monthebiff, Paul in Napier and Rick Griewski 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply: NO The airframe "parts" are divided along the color/camo demarcation lines. The elements (more exact than the term "parts") are made of PS and they are colored (not painted!) in the standard factory colors. This kit is an attempt by Revell to steer young (and elder) people into that sphere that we call our hobby. Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done a few Hobbyboss 1/72 kits with my kids (now 10 and 7,5) who have a rather limited attention span and we had a good time building those. I didn't force anything, just put the models in view (can't build them in one go due to said attention span) and after a while one of my kids would ask when we we'd finish the model. Have fun!

dutik Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Why not? Matchbox did it decades ago (may I say: in the last century? ). Gundams (human-shaped large fighting machines from Japan) are made and sold the same way, and the higher rated ranges build into excellent models right out of the box and without any painting, except for some stickers or decals here and there. Good luck to Revell! Everything large scale that sells well creates revenue to design more and other large scale kits. We are still waiting for some more Ju-88 variants from Revell, and other stuff, aren't we? Regards - dutik Andreas Beck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confusionreigns178 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 1/32nd seems a little odd, for a "youth-appeal" kit of this type. Also, the price and the target-market are very much out of alignment. I can't see this being a big hit for Revell. Time will tell on that one. Chris.

Andreas Beck Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Yepp, I attended R´s "Press Conference" last Thursday. Testshots were shown but not for photography. Parts were neither colored nor in the production material. Nothing for LSP folks but it can be taken into consideration as a nice present for non-modelers..... coogrfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
