phasephantomphixer Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Sure there's an exact reason, but whatever the issue, I happen to be on the short end. Off the top I can think of a few kits I wanted to get but Goose egg; The Gripen (I know, but still wanted at standard price), the two seat Eurofighter, He-111H-6, and now P-51D.

Dave Williams Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Is the P-51D no longer available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phasephantomphixer Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) Is the P-51D no longer available? Might as well be, none of the suppliers ever have it in stock. Not into listing all of them, but a few I use; Squadron, Tower, LOM, Mark Twain, etc. The P-51 is a current example. The other kits I listed were at the time also current, yet could not get one at the time. Edited June 8, 2018 by phasephantomphixer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwana Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 They stopped production on everything while the bankruptcy and all was going on. From what I understand, the new holding company will now have to evaluate all the molds and production materials and get things going again. They'll need some time to get product back in the pipeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly, Mark Twain frequently has excellent prices on some kits, and they're just a few miles from here.

MikeMaben Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Their new website seems to be active https://www.revell.de/en/home/ Mustang listed in their current catalog but not for the same price it was here in the U.S. https://www.revell.de/en/products/modelmaking/planes/zweiter-weltkrieg/p-51d-mustang-revell.html Interesting to see how things develop here in the colonies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelingbob Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) I have no doubts that RoG will eventually find a US importer/distributor and the P-51 (and others) will be readily available again. I have no doubts that I will NOT be able to score the P-51 for $25 shipped to me like I did early this year, once a US importer/distributor gets up and running. <<<Interesting to see how things develop here in the colonies >>> Edited June 9, 2018 by modelingbob Bomber_County, Bill Cross and MikeMaben 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbk57 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Andy's hobby headquarters did a video in part on this. It is the one where he discusses the new MAP pricing for Tamiya, he also covered Revell. They temporarily shut down production. I don't think it is anything to worry about. We should see normal availability before long.

STWilliams Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Revell kits widely available in Europe, at very, very good prices. Except the Ju 88, He 111 & Ar 196A-3, of course. The Revell Bf 109G-10 - is this a good kit & why is it no longer available? I've been given the opportunity to buy a few, wondered if there's demand to pass these on?

ssculptor Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I am not concerned about the reissuing of old kits by Revell Germany. I have built them all, or most of the them over the years. I am hoping to see new kits, like the Do-17.... Huh? Yes? Please, Pretty please, Pretty please with whipped cream, chopped nuts and a cherry on the top and some cookies on the side? And don't tell me it is most unlikely. This is my fantasy, not yours! Go get your own fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you absolutely positively have to have some type of Revell product while the company is in a state of flux, buy it from someone on Ebay. I'm sure you can find what you need there, eventually. If you can wait and work on something else, wait, and work on something else! Revell's production will be sorted soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
