Revell release list of 2009's planned kits

Oh, I dunno. I imagine a lot of those are ex-Matchbox kits.

F9F Panther, Noorduyn Norseman (I still have one in my Deep Stash in the original Matchbox box), T-2 Buckeye, PB4Y Privateer...

I'll definitely build the Buckeye as I never managed to grab one when it came out originally.

Yep have to agree.

The only one that jumps out for me is the 1/32 Eurofighter Typhoon with full engine. But it will have to get good reviews before I pay my money.

Cheers,

out the reissues. a lot of classics are back. the interiors are spartan but all of these can be biult into nice looking models. their jn4 is the best one out there and you can get a 3rd party cockpit for it. take the time to rig it correctly and you have a good looking jenny. my faves, the 1/72 german kits are back, too. a lot of fun to bash. i bet i mentioned i did the first 15 ar234 v models? cheap fun.

Nigel Heather Yep have to agree.

Yup. Wonder if it's a single seater or the two seater?..

either one will do me but I'd prefer the 2 seater......looks much nicer I think!

Yeah...I've got a sort of a tilt to the two seaters myself. What I'd like to see is a nice 1/32 two seat Gripen...drool...

Can't wait to see the Fairey Rotodyne back on the shelf. I think that was from Revell's British plant--who else would mold that? As for the rest, the Matchbox re-issues will be boxed up in identical format with the latest RoG stuff, and probably at the same prices. Might even be worth it if they do one of their "Superdecals"--looking forward to what they could do with the Privateer.

ebayers don't seem to know it will be reissued. the privateer i mean. i've sat on mine and now it's more like a historical artifact. i'll never build it, but i'll never get a tamy 1/48 lanc in tade, either.

Build it! You know you want to! :-D

Oh, go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on!

Their 50's stuff varied greatly--but that 1957(?) Bounty that's still being sold is judged one of the best molded, most accurate sailing ship models ever made. Of course, being Revell, they turn around and rebox it as HMS Beagle-- like slapping a pair of torpedo tubes on their tug and calling it a PT boat.

I built the Bounty when it was first released - I was in grade school at the time so 57 seems about right. In those days I didn't know about mold release and washing parts before painting and assembly - and some time after I finished it the paint on the lower hull simply peeled off in big sections.
