Revell

[Jacques Deguerre]

From Revell USA, a series of "WhIf in a box" tanks.
"Quake" Sherman tank
"Aftershock" Panzer IV
"Shade" M48 Patton
Looks like the basic formula is to take the old (70s era?) Monogram Snap-Tite 1/48 scale armor series and re-do it as a post-apocalypse Deathrace 2000 meets World Of Tanks theme. If I understand correctly, the kits also come pre-painted.

Totally whacked and obviously not-too serious but looks like fun!

Except, of course, for those of us who want to fit one to a F-105F/EF-105G.

The model kit contained in the Revell box is the Zvezda 1:72nd scale Black Swan (aka PoTC* Black Pearl) kit number 9031.  It is huge at 55.0 cm (21.7") in length just to give you an idea of the footprint this will take up on your display shelf.  While not my "cup of tea" I am impressed with the details and the whale boat is a beautiful little kit in its own right.

Oh  dear ...........   my brother better not see this. 

Back in the early 90's we waterlined several Airfix tall Ships, a couple of Royal Sovereigns and Wasas and wargamed with them. I ran across one on the hulls in the shed while having a clean up recently. Big mothers they were, looked fab on the table but a little fragile lol. We wanted crews but couldn't get yjem so drifted (heheheee) into something else .

Now ..... 72nd is another matter .......

People are saying that Revell's fairly recent 1/32 scale Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 is pretty good. Not perfect but good.

[finsrin]

Is 130ft (1/72).
Build w/o masts as a diesel powered armed cargo ship.  For moving supplies between archipelago islands.
Mix of 30cal, 50cal, 20mm in about half the cannon ports.  Other half available for hand held weapons if needed.

Most interesting and most pricey I would think !

[Daryl J.]

Cool!   Now perhaps I an get the missing clear nose of my Revell Mossie purchased second hand almost 20 years ago.

IF you had expressed a need for this particular part at any time in the past I could have and would have been happy to provide said part.  I have a couple of Monogram Mosquito kits that will not be built as they are destined to provide parts for another project.  So if you do not want to wait any longer let me know at your earliest convenience

[Jeffry Fontaine]

first look at the kit contents for the new Revell 1:35th scale ATF Dingo 2 GE A2 PatSi (kit number 03233)

[GTX_Admin]

Tempting to do one as a civilian uber SUV

[jcf]

Jack it up with ridiculous monster truck wheels, cut in a bunch more windows
and paint it up like a school bus.
 

[Dr. YoKai]

Glad to see they're re-issuing the SMS Emden.

[father ennis]

Me,too !  I'm also happy they have brought back the Dresden,too. I been wanting those since they took them off the market. I can't decide which to get first.

[taiidantomcat]

Been wanting to do a 1/48 Catalina for a while now.. I have a plan

You mean for someone with money but Rides The Short Bus? LOL (A couple buddies of mine had a character like that in their novel, Dead Six, except it was a Hummer instead of a Dingo.)

Mmmm, No.
More like a satirical Monster Truck-Silly Useless Vehicle (MT-SUV) variation on Tom Daniel's S'Cool Bus.

Revell's news for 2014 have been posted. LINK

I'm kinda underwhelmed. A lot of the new tools are left-overs from 2013 and even the re-pops are kinda boring.

[Spey Phantom]

the new tool LMS looks like a great idea to convert into a 1/144 escort carrier (oh no, im seeing aircraft carriers again!)

a 1/144 A400M!?
