This is more of 2023 news, www.modellbau-koenig.de of Germany seems to receive some of these WNW kits too and will sell them in January 2023. 
I don't know, if I need more, but there are two, which I always liked to have, the AMC DH.2 and even more, the Albatros B.II and maybe a Dolphin.

Cheers Rob

I saw thew notice as well but the hard part is no pre orders, so you have to keep checking and hope for the best.

 

 

Sprue Brothers has an option where they'll email you once it's in stock. But then you have to watch your email too.

This can be interesting for some of you, I guess. Revell is about to release a new tool Hurricane soon.

The Modelling News: Revell's new-tooled 32nd scale Hurricane hits in December...

Cheers Rob

Interesting, having never built a Hurricane, how sad I am, I’d jump at this if it wasn’t Revell, I maybe proved wrong and I hope I am……..

I've got a Fly Sea Hurricane in the stash so it'll be interesting to see how this compares to it.

Already seen lots of chat saying the dihedral is incorrect, ie too flat, and not just on TOS. Hard to judge from the pics but although Revell aren't quite Trumpeter, they have fouled up a few obvious things down the years.

Been doing some extra reading on the up-coming Hurricane and there has been a lot of discussion about the dihedral issue. Radu, who most of us know and respect, had a hand in the design of the kit and assures us, that the correct dihedral has been designed into the kit and what we are looking at is a few badly done photographs. Here is the link to Radu's response with proper photographs to put the issue to rest.  Just scroll down to Radu's post.

THE EYE OF THE STORM! Revell Hurricane - Page 7 - LSP Discussion - Large Scale Planes

It does amaze me how many comments and opinions there are on a kit that hasn't been released yet. 

There are more incredible 32nd scale kits coming our way:

Spitfire Mk1a - Kotare 

A-20 -  HK

Sea Fury - DBMK .. Just CAD drawings but who knows.

SR-71- VFS Vintage Fighter Series on display at Telford

And of course, the Trumpeter Devastator ... we're still waiting.

Lots of new companies and we shall see.

I thought Radu did a terrific job on the 'new' Revell P-51D he helped them with so high expectations for the Hurricane.

A 1/32 SR-71??  Who is that coming from?  I took a several hundred pictures a few years ago of the SR-71 at Udvar Hazy for some folks who said they were going to do a kit.  They wanted to see all of the access panels and such.  The staff thought I was a bit nuts, sitting on the floor inching around to get all the photographs...

Two upcoming new kits from Special Hobbt.

Even if one is in 1:48, both are really tempting!

Had a feeling another version of the kit would be released as there are a lot of extra parts. But after working on the "AVG" version, I'm passing on anymore GWH kits.

 

GWH are that bad?? 😵 Waiting for one Hawk as we speak!!
