I have the same situation of too many models started at the same time. My reasons are a bit different but same result. I’m lucky I don’t lose or mix-up parts.
Oh, and if you are a Hobby Shop, I must be a Distributor. That’s part of the fun too.
I have several of Revells 1/72 Elco PT boats including the Jack of Diamonds. More than enough to keep me busy. No plan to add the latest incubation but I would like to see someone do it and post photos. I saw the picture of the kits dayroom but I would like to see a better picture of Revell’s forward cabin and the layout for the Chart/Radio area and the stair/ladder to the crews berthing and galley.
If Revell did a good job on the interior then maybe it would be worth it to put clearer “glass” in the windows and open the two forward hatches. Add some lighting, bunks, and a toilet to the head and no one will notice any problems elsewhere.
I suspect many of you are on the subscription list for FreetimeHobbies. For those who are not, here is Brandon’s latest update on his Revell products.
Status of Revell Products
We have been getting several emails and phone calls concerning the status of Revell products, in particular the new PT-109 pre-orders.
Revell was recently sold and Revell USA (Monogram) and Revell Germany are in the process of being combined into one company which will be located in Germany. When this happened all Revell product shipments stopped.
We did receive our first, small, shipment of PT-109 kits (which is why some customers have received the product) but of the hundreds we bought, we only received a few dozen to begin with.
Our second (of several) shipments, that was stopped, has started moving again and we should receive it in the next week or two and we will continue to fulfill pre-orders. We can not, at this time, guarantee how many we will be getting on this next shipment. We will fill pre-orders in the order they were placed until all pre-orders are filled.
If you have not pre-ordered one, please do so but understand that it might not be filled until after the new Revell company is completely set up. From what we understand, these next few shipments that are headed to us (and the rest of the USA) will be the last Revell product that is available for several months until the new company is completely set up for business.
