Does anyone know if Revelogram's new kits are reboxings of Hasegawa's? In particular I'm considering buying the 1/32 ME-109G4, and the 1/48 Stuka, F-4E Phantaom and the FW 190 (the stuff in the current Squadron flyer).

The Promodeler 1/32 109G, 1/48 Stuka amd F-4E, are all Hasegawa reboxes. Not sure which Fw190 you are talking about, but if it's the 1/48 Promodeler G-2/3 kit, it's the DML kit. If you are talking about the 1/32 Fw190F, it is the old tool Hasegawa kit.

The 1/48 scale F-4E is a re-box of the Hasegawa kit. Eric O....
German Revell has also been reboxing Hasegawa kits. I recently bought a G.Revell 1/72 Harrier GR.7 thinking it was the Italeri kit but I was delighted to find that it was the Hasegawa GR.7. G.Revell also has reboxed the Hasegawa 1/48 SH-3 Sea King and 1/72 P-2 Neptune among others. The way to determine if a German Revell kit is a Hasegawa rebox is to look at the copyright information on the side of the box. If it's Hasegawa, it will say "Made in Japan". Likewise, if it's Italeri, it will say "Made in Italy".

I'll have to take a close peek at an Italeri box to be sure, but aren't these made somewhere in Eastern Europe? The Czech Republic comes to mind.

The RoG 1/48 Stuka, Corsair and Skyhawk are all Hasegawa kits. I think there is an ardo jet fighter, too.
Some original Revell of Germany kits are made in Poland. But I think Italeri make their kits in Italy and when they are reboxed by Revell they indeed have "Made in Italy" on the box.
Several new Italeri kits are made by Zvezda in Russia.
