Matt Bacon Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Just got my "New Model Kits Autumn 2105" e-newsletter from Revell, and kit 07056 is 1:24 Ferrari 250 SWB: It's probably the older Italeri kit, but that's pretty good, much better than the Esci/AMT version, and it will be a lot easier on the wallet than the Gunze Sangyo kit. I'll be having a couple, for sure! bestest, M. Edited October 6, 2015 by Matt Bacon
MrObsessive Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Aaaah! One of my all time favorite Ferraris! I built this out of that years ago.............. I do have another kit, but would sure like a couple more! One can't have too many of these! I hope this is the real deal this time and not a tease. This was supposed to come out a while back, but was cancelled for some reason. 1
afx Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 I would love a new mold but I will gladly accept the old Italeri kit.
Chuck Kourouklis Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 E X X c e l l l l e n t!My ol' Italeri is buildable but kinda pillaged and loose. It'll be very nice to nab this one afresh.
Lagib Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 "New Model Kits Autumn 2105" Wow, Revell/Germany is already working 90 years ahead of everyone else!
Snake45 Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Is this gonna be the Italeri or the ESCI kit? If it's the latter run away...run like the wind....
PowerPlant Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 This was due for release a couple years back, got my hopes up, and then they just pulled the plug on it for reasons unknown...Fingers crossed it really does come out this time!
MrObsessive Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Is this gonna be the Italeri or the ESCI kit? If it's the latter run away...run like the wind....Good question Snake! If it is the woefully inaccurate ESCI kit, then in the words of the late, great Emily Litella........."Never Mind!"
keyser Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 The GTO they recently did was the GS iirc. GS did a SWB too. Here's hoping for the Italeri. Much better. Esci is trash. Very abnormal for Esci, their other stuff is pretty nice, big thread about them somewhere here.
jaymcminn Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Of course. Now that I paid silly EBay money for the original Italeri issue...
Phildaupho Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 This is great news. I have an AMT I have been trying to massage into a presentable SWB. I just hope the 275 GTBs get reissued someday.
PowerPlant Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Any news about this one? There doesn't seem to be much info online...
Matt Bacon Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Revell seems to be having some trouble with the pictures at the moment, but the newsletter is here:http://www.revell-news.de/display.php?M=114256&C=9c703e743de608183b910bacd933aa65&L=36&N=173and you can pre-prder from Hannants here:https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/RV7056bestest,M.

MrObsessive Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Hmmm............Revell's site still doesn't answer the million dollar question---------who's tooling was it formerly?? Which one it is will determine whether I buy one or not.
PowerPlant Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 I have a hunch it will be Italeri (fingers crossed)... I'm just curious about this October release, since we're already half way through the month
Exotics_Builder Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Hmmm............Revell's site still doesn't answer the million dollar question---------who's tooling was it formerly?? Which one it is will determine whether I buy one or not. Supposedly the Italeri although I am trying to find out. I have an original Italeri unbuilt in the stash, so not frothing at the mouth on this one.
Rob Hall Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 I would assume it is Italeri, as RoG has reboxed their Ferraris before. I have an unbuilt Italeri in the stash also, so I'm not hyped about this release..
Scott - Elm City Hobbies Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Currently slated for a January release, which will mean early Feb. before it hits shelves in NA.
MrObsessive Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Scott, any word on which kit it is?? I'm hoping it's the Italeri one and not that junky ESCI kit.
Scott - Elm City Hobbies Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Nah, just a listing without a picture at this point. Nothing on the Revell Germany site as of yet either, they might be waiting until IPMS Telford is over with before updating. Only thing I can tell you is it is kit 07056 1/24 Ferrari 250 SWB, and MSRP is $39.95US
fomocomav Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I want to upgrade my Sunny/Academy Ferrari 250LM, and was wondering if anyone had any ideas on which Ferrari 250 kit (SWB or GTO) I should use for the motor and chassis, I would be grateful!
