Maybe this is the wrong category but Revell is releasing another 1:24 old tractor:

Nothing heard from Heller, I believe they were not at the show, I've heard a few rumours that they are having finance trouble (Again) 

I just hope they aren't surprised.

Since the takeover it's increasingly difficult to buy their wares and to boost sales they don't show up at trade fairs?

Errr, that's the stand of a German model shop.

I just noticed this when going trough the pictures:


1:24 VW Type 2 kombi from Ebbro. I wonder if that is a collaboration with Revell or if they have made new molds on their own. Very nice to see a more standard version of the splitwindow bus and not just the samba and the panelvan.

 

I knew if I stalled the build long enough someone would finally put out a Kombi I could build my Dad's '56, with a lot of work still!

'70 AAR Cuda? 

Yes....development was nearly complete before the Hobbico debacle.  Question is whether it will contain any of the body refinements we suggested based on the original c.2013 Hemi-Cuda kit.   I was told it could not be done, but over the years I have seen Revell say just that, then find a way to include some of those suggestions in their final products.   Even without any refinements, it would (will?) be a huge improvement over the prior two 1/24th scale AAR attempts based on the original Challenger T/A tool.....TIM

I received mine the weekend from my contract at Revell 

Geoff...thanks for the pictures.

Wonder where the hot rod/street rod kits are?    Thought I saw somewhere some other catalog pages with at least a reissue of the '32 Five Window kit with box art derived from the original kit release.   But sadly, no signs of a second run of the new-tool '29A Roadster and '30A Five Window kits.

Indeed.  Revell flat boxes, how do I loathe thee?  Let me count the ways:

• They collapse under their own weight if you try to stack them.
• You can't store a WIP or built kit in them.
• In some cases the unbuilt kit doesn't even fit comfortably.
• Any loose parts will inevitably find their way out between the box and the end flap.

I could go on, but I'm getting wound up just thinking about the damned things.

With apologies to E Barrett Browning

This should be acknowledged for the Browning reference alone.

(That, and of course your dead-correctness about Revell flat boxes.)

You have done good work on that one, is that based on the Hasegawa Samba or Panel?
A modelling friend of mine started a project on making a ambulance out of the Hasegawa Panel some 12-15 years ago. He had gotten to the stage og making the side windows using the samba windows as templates.
I guess it will be a lot easier to make an ambulance conversion with the new Kombi kit as one only has to move the rear tailgate hinges to the bottom of the tailgate instead of the top.

While I too loathe the RevellAG flatboxes to a certain extent, but exactly how high are you stacking them, that they're collapsing? Is your hobby area subject to earthquakes or under a trampoline park? 

[Rob Hall]

I've stacked RoG kits 6 high without problems. 

[martinfan5]

I am not fan of the boxes either, and I try to limit how many other kit boxes I stack on top them, but my real issue with them , at least for me, is once you take the contents out,  those contents will never seem to go back in the way they came out, no matter how good you are at Tetris ( at least for me, it may be different for you)

[Mike Chernecki]

Don't complain about the boxes, they may bring back those stupid flip top donut boxes.

I do wonder how popular the Porsche tractor kits have been? I personally like them and will be getting the Deutz D30. I do wonder if we will ever see another 1/25 new American big rig ever again.

Oooooooooo I have to have that Yamaha DT1.  It was my first "real" bike.  It hurt me several times but I still love it.

The Typ 2 Van is the Revell kit with newly tooled Kombi parts from Ebbro. One of these days they might actually issue that DS21, they showed that thing for the first time at Nuremberg in 2017...I think my pre-order at HLJ is over a year old at this point.

I've just been in contact with my contact from Ebbro in Japan, the DS21 should be ready by the spring

There's other pages in the catalogue for Revell USA, I'll get some photos of those pages later today and post them up.

This is the Hasegawa 23 window ... all had to be filled and the rear window made smaller. WIP is here.

Goodness it's a minor retool reissue. They opened the pre-orders for those things before Shizouka LAST year for a Fall Release after dragging it around since February of 2017. I don't even know if I care enough to recieve it at this point, especially given that it's gonna run over $75 directly from Japan.

Not the best photos, I took them off my Facebook page, and for some reason the quality of them got downgraded.
