With Pictures !!! New for 2014 - Revell 1/32 and 1/28 Update Today 26/10

[Jamme]

Hi everybody,

Just received the leaflet with the "new"'s for 2014.

In our scale 1/32

 

• 04888 - Bf 109 G-10 Erla 
• 04781 - F-U4-1D Corsair
• 04658 - Mosquito Mk IV

In 1/28 Scale:

 

• 04730 - Spad XIII
• 04747 - Sopwith Camel

 

Nothing really "new" but the G-10 will be nice, I think.

Cheers,

Jamme

Mosquito?? New tool?

If so, that's great news!

[Jamme]

No Jeroen, it's the old tool, as the Corsair.

Cheers,

Jamme

I am waiting for the 1/72 Type IX U boat...I know not an LSM but still big.

[Artful69]

Sigh. This is what frustrates me about Revell.

 

yes ... and I'm still waiting on that 'new-tool' Spitfire Mk.II ... and a Do.17z would be nice to help round off the BoB builds!! What's with this old tool rubbish??

Well, look at it as Revell making lots of Euros to re-invest in a new tool Do 17, after they've done me a Me 410 and Bf 108 thanks.....

 

And to be fair, neither is 'rubbish' they're both quite respectable representations of the aircraft, just not up to our psychotic detail fanaticism..... Not everyone's going to want a £100 Tamiya F4U....

 

The Erla G-10 is good news.... will it be as good as Steve Gallacci's resin conversion.... don't know but as they're as rare as hen's teeth it's somewhat academic.... Also, a little bit of scribing and fillind and you could do one of the (currently) ultra rare Erla 109K-4s... nice

I've got two EagleParts Erla conversion sets in the stash but i'm still excited about the Revell kit, should be a winner. 

 

Is the old tool Revell Mosquito that bad?  I don't think I've ever seen one built up.

Which markings are going on the Camel? I built Barker's ship when I was 12 in 72....but that was when I was only interested in equipment and

not the stories of the great men that flew them. I only found out tonight that William Barker was the highest decorated Commonwealth person

ever.

For hockey fans (I must be the only Canadian that isn't) he was also the first President of the Toronto Maple Leafs

I have it on authority the Spitfire is delayed until the new year to correct some inaccuracies.

 

Mossy is well over due a new tool. I'll be having several if imagine. Especially at the prices Revell charge.

[Jamme]

Hi Benjamin.

Not really sure this will be a new tool.

Here are the pictures that are on the Leaflet.

(I removed the prices)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seems to be the design from the old box...., no?

[Dave J]

Great... Why do I see more 109 in my future?

[nmayhew]

Is the Corsair new tool btw?

[Wingco57]

The Mossie can be made to look good, aftermarket is available to correct the nose ( FB VI) and canopy. The nacelles

Cam be corrected with Milliput.

Until the (HK Models?) new kit arrives of course.

I don't like your chances of this as that is the box art of the old kit.

As the Mossie is.....

Bugger will have to wait for the HK kit.
