No need to be snarky, Frank.
Revell has made no announcement about exactly what the kit is supposed to be. They only recently added a blurry pic of the old Lindberg '96-'97 Crown Wick to their announcement bulletin. And, yes, it says 'new mold' on the poster. But, does that mean a new push of plastic through the same old tooling, or does that mean an all-new, never done before tooling? Does it mean 'new to Revell' because they bought or licensed the old Lindberg tooling? What does it mean?
I cannot imagine Revell wasting their money and time tooling up an all-new '96-'97 Crown Wick when it's already been done, been bought, and been relegated to the history books. Especially an archaic subject.
The only (unofficial) scuttlebutt so far has been leaks from insiders that suggest it's the old Lindberg Crown Wick being recycled again, but this time by Revell. So far, Revell hasn't spilled the beans.
So, the question remains: Do you know something the rest of us don't know, Frank?
