Sounds like some good kits are coming out soon. Wanna know what made me extra happy? Look at those prices! Woo-hoo! I might be able to afford to buy a kit this year! LOL! Thank you Revell/Monogram!
Wow! An F9F-5P! I also have been waiting for their Super Hornet, which is supposed to be all new tooling. The team that did their F-15E Strike Eagle is the one that was doing the F-18E so it should be good. I also like the sound of the Harrier and the A-10.[:D]
Looks like the only new kit will be the Super Hornet, although that recce Panther should have some new tooling included. The rest are reissues, but mostly very welcome reissues!
The only thing I have a problem with is the Wildcat-book combo. That book better be somethin’ special cuz the kit sure as hell ain’t worth $15.50.
The Harrier is the same one from the 80’s, with a resin nose to make it an AV-8B Plus. Any bets that the new nose will have recessed panel lines, while the kit will retain raised ones? Not knocking the kit…actually greatly anticipating getting my hands on one!
Would like to see the return of some bombers (i.e., B-24J), and maybe some new large (i.e., B-10/12, C-46 Commando, C-54 Skymaster) or unique (i.e., Sikorsky R-6, Waco CG-4A, Curtis XF15C-1) US WWII aircraft releases at 1/48. But that’s a lot of plastic ain’t it?
Doesn’t look like it. Drat, and I was hoping this would be the year we got some new cargo planes and trainers. Instead we get the same old reissues. Oh well, guess I’ll crawl back into my hole and pout until next year.
I also would like to see the 144 launch tower kit remade . I just bought one on evil bay and got ripped off paid $155 bucks and it came with no tower and cant get a refund from seller wont answer email
I just got a catalog in the mail yesterday that showed a B-24D in a new Revell boxing. I’m guessing that this might be the same as the old Monogram, then later Pro Modeller version. It was a blue box - I think that’s Revell of Germany (not sure). Didn’t see a J model - but I wouldn’t be surprised if they come out with it eventually.
