Just spotted this as a new release on Hannants website. Is this from a new tool, or is it a re-boxing of the old Supermodel kit? The latter has recently been reissued at exactly the same price as the Revell kit, hence the question, Cheers, Bill.
I remember a model of this aircraft being releced in 1976 by Italeri is my memmory serves me well it could be the same kit.

Revell Germany has announced a new mold of the BV138. I doubt they would release the crappy old kits just prior to the new kit's release. My money is on it being the new kit. Price seems to be in line with most of the new Revell releases, too.

When it was announced, this was announced as a re-release of the Supermodel kit

Thanks - what I expected, but still disappointing, Cheers, Bill.
Actually, SAMI had it listed as a new tool way back when. Not the first time they have gotten it wrong, I suppose. I hope Revell at least puts some effort into cleaning up the molds. At the same price as the new mold JU 290 and BV 222, I don't see how they can justify reboxing a tired old kit.
Have checked with Revell today, this is the old supermodel kit.
So both Revell and Supermodel are selling the kit at the same time!

More to come in the future.
Well, that's good to hear. The last thing I remember hearing was that Italeri might not be able to buy the Supermodel moulds. Maybe the kits don't click together like the latest greatest but they are of interesting types and worth having.
