Too bad that F40 will be 1/32

I do wish they would tool up some modern Porsches besides the 918.   The 911 GT3 RS and Cayman GT4 would be great to see, along with more down to earth versions...

I'll take one of the Lufthansa buses. Very cool.

[Chuck Kourouklis]

Wasn't there supposed to be a 1/16 Bus? No mention of scale that I can make out, so I guess it's the 1/24 in Lufthansa livery.  F40 must be the old Monogram snapper.

Don't need to be able to read German very well to see confirmation that the Ferrari SWB is the Italeri kit.

the Ferrari SWB should be new molding....according to rumours... i hope so, that it is not the old italeri-kit. perhaps the F40 is also the old italeri-kit?

the Bus is 1/24, new decals. the 1/16 will follow? announced he was middle of the year in a thread somewhere...

i like the citroen "Sausente"...remember my childhood as the drove on the road. think i will grab this one.

Well, a statement about the Ferrari SWB kit in the link above, which seems fairly legit, quite literally says "produced in cooperation with Italeri" - in German

Either way, a new tool or Italeri re-box, I just hope it's for real this time... Fingers crossed!

Revell has been working with Italeri for years to get this SWB reissued. Even though Italeri is located practically next door to Ferrari in Maranello, the process of obtaining licensing and doing business in Italy always creates some sort of head-banging roadblocks. The Italeri kit is quite good..only issued once, I already have two of them in my stash. It's good enough that new tooling simply isn't necessary. The aftermarket needs to step up and make it easy to obtain good quality detail parts for the engine, wheels, tires that will improve upon out of box.

Think the 2CV is a must, although the lit will be the same as their earlier Charleston model, the decals are new and not a well known version of the 2Cv either, the real thing was only sold in Germany

That's a Nov. 2015 announcement.

It's due before the end of the year according to the last date I saw.
