Revell of Gemany is now open to suggestions for future kits (new moulds, re-issues and conversions).
they have a part of they're website dedicated to the submission of Ideas and suggestions.
you can vote on already submitted ideas, or you can register and submit your own 8)
now thats a good idea :)

hmmm. I went and registered to suggest something new...
-
Me too. Suggested 1/72 XB-15.

How many times must I tell you Bill? 1/48, 1/48, 1/48... ;)

How can we be impressed by your committment to bigger-house/deeper-pockets scale when you can't even make your mind up what scale your fonts are in? ;) :P

Ideally Greg. Wish I could convince model companies to send you 1/48 B-36, B-52, C-133, R6V, and Mars flying boat to boost your U.S. 50s era kits. Need to increase my lobbying efforts. Hang in there, keep the hope and I will too.
-
Personally I think Greg needs a 1/48 USS Nimitz to round out his collection.
-
just for you guys, i have placed a suggestion for a 1/48 NH90 TTH/NFH.
but it has yet to be approved.
-
I'd need a 48/1 scale house if I modelled in that scale............

I did the same. :)

I found the program to submit ideas & pictures a bit buggy on a couple computers.
Asked for a Tracked Roland SAM, Iltis 4x4, Leopard AEV,

Good suggestions! In 1/35 I hope...

Graeme,
I was having similar issues with the registration page that had the process freeze on me several times. I disabled my add-blocker and do not track features for that page and it was still giving me problems during the registration process. Eventually I was able to finish the registration process only after refreshing the screen a number of times to get it cleared out and working for me. The eMail was finally sent and I was able to log in properly registered. Certainly was a bit out of the ordinary though.
You should have included a request for a 1:35th Leopard Biber AVLB in your submission. M48 AVLB and M60 AVLB would also be nice but one step at a time.
-
The Biber AVLB was already a suggestion, which I voted for natch!

I missed that one. Will have to go back and vote for it. :)
***Went looking for it and did not find it. Where exactly did you find the entry? I tried several of the available search options and they all came back with no results. :(
-
Voted for a number of things, including the Firefly model..... :-*
-
Me too. Suggested 1/72 XB-15.

Shiny! :)
So did I.

***Went looking for it and did not find it. Where exactly did you find the entry? I tried several of the available search options and they all came back with no results. :(
It was just present on the first page when I went to visit the site. I have not got the search to work at all.

Checked again this morning and there were a lot more entries to vote on but not the Biber AVLB.
-
Added a vote for the 1/48 NH-90, will do so again from the home computer.
-
yeah - you're right - its gone! Along with a few other Leopard variants that were there a couple days ago. I see it took my Roland and Iltis (way at the bottom with 2 votes), but failed to upload the photo, which has a lot to do with how many votes something gets I think.
OK, I hit keyword Bundeswehr, and they all popped back up, in the "Conversion" category
http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/20/ (http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/20/)

Figured might as well ask for the moon...

-
Well I think I've just uploaded an idea for a 1/700th Leander class frigate, but it hasn't appeared yet. Do they need manual approval by someone at Revell or do they just appear?
-
Any idea about how to make it so that your idea can have votes cast for it?
-
By suggesting a good idea ;)...seriously though, your suggestions have already received votes including from myself.
-
Well My Leander idea has popped up, although the picture I uploaded hasn't appeared. Not sure if that's for real or just down to the works server though...

Graeme, thanks for finding the missing entries. I had also done the same thing as you and entered a search for conversions but nothing came up for me at all but a blank page saying "nothing found" which was no great surprise for me since the the page was acting a bit strange during my visit anyway I just gave up and closed it.
-
Looks like I'm not quite alone in liking the X-31:
http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/130/ (http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/130/)
-
i liked the idea aswell, i hope its for a 1/72 scale.
loads of whiff potential :)
would look better with the wings and weapons of an EF Typhoon ;D
PS, would go great with the 1/144 and 1/72 Weapons pack i suggested 8)

Here's the links to mine (VW Iltis, Roland 8x8, Roland Tracked, Faun Elefant with 8x0 trailer) in case any one wants to vote and cannot locate them:

Faun Elefant with 8x0 trailer)
Graeme, I thought Trumpeter produced the Faun Elefant with that trailer? Or is it now OOP and unavailable?
-
Trump did the Franziska with the 6-axle on-road trailer. This one is the Elefant with the 4-axle off-road trailer (as used by CAF). Revell do this exact kit in 1/72...I am hoping they scale it up to 1/35.

Okay, thanks for the explanation. Never paid much attention the differences in the trailers.

Gingie
your suggestion for an VW Iltis is very good, i know a lot of Belgian modelers who would sell an arm and a legg for one of those :)
would be nice if they released it in both 1/72 and 1/35 8)

1/35 Conqueror Heavy Tank: http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/178/ (http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/178/)
1/72 Supermarine Scimitar (take your pick of which one to vote for or perhaps all three... ;) ):

The Scimitar gets my vote every hour.
Same for Bills XB-15.

May I draw this one (not mine) to people's attention please:
http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/163/ (http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/163/)
As far as I know, the M-18 Hellcat has NEVER been made as a 1/72nd model for some odd reason.
-
I've put another couple in: F-101A Voodoo and HAL HF-24 Marut, both in 1/72nd.

Suggested something for the 1/48 crowd (you're welcome, Greg! :P ): Mi-8 Hip! LINK (http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/343/)
-
Saw a couple of interesting suggestions that earned my vote:
Chenowith Desert Patrol Vehicle(no scale given, so I'll say 1/35)
Sikorsky HH-3 Jolly Green Giant (no scale given, so I'll say 1/48)
and another couple votes for the NH-90.

* For reasons which are as incomprehensible as they are perverse, somebody has also asked for the Marut in the Wrong Scale. Can't imagine why anyone would want to vote for it, but for those who wish to satisfy their idle curiosity.... ;)

How about that 1/32 He177? ;)

Just put up an idea for a 1/144th Skylon spaceplane. Would go well with the White Knight/Spaceship Two they've just brought out.
The poll isn't up yet 'cos it has to be approved.

It may be more a browser thing. The few I've added pictures to were done from work, using a Windoze version of Firefox. I know I can't add pictures using my older, Linux version of Firefox from home. So, it maybe that if you're using (gag) Safari or Chrome, it won't work?
-
It works fine with Safari.

That's splitting your vote, mate! perhaps you should try to make one a Sentinel ACIII/IV?

During lunch today, I was scrolling through all the suggestions (slowly, what's up with Revell's site?) and along with my previous vote-getters (Chenowith DPV, HH-3, NH-90, F-16XL) I had to add a vote for the 1/48 B-2 and P-3.
So many choices, it will be interesting to see which, if any, make it into production.
-
The 1/48 P-3 is a damn fine idea. Would love to see it occur.
-
As this is Revell Germany trolling for ideas I wouldn't get too excited about 1/48th releases.
Personally, I think folks on all the various boards are reading way too much into this whole dog-n-pony show.
-
You're probably right...still its fun to see what people suggest.

Nah, it's adhering to the old political motto, "vote early and vote often!" ;D ;D ;D
Anyway, we need to leave some room for the after-market conversions. ;)

There are some excellent ideas there to vote for. It was great to see stuff like an M-114,and some AMX 13 ideas. I suggested a 1/35 SK-105 Kürassier.
-
Too bad they can't go through and merge duplicate suggestions... like I noted on ARC, no less than three people started C-5 entries. Scooter at 200, mine at 83 and a newer guy at 30-ish... then again, I'd suspect that part of it is their poor choice of layout where you have to see the whole tag list in this narrow column before you see your search results, and a lot of people taking the blank space to the right of that long-arse tag list as "no results".
A on concept, D on execution of it.
