New Revell kits?

[High octane]

Does anyone know of any release dates of some of the new Revell kits that are coming out this year as well as the dates for some of the re-pops? Thanks!

[Casey]

A few specific months are listed here for various 2012 releases, but this is all I've seen:

The 1/24 ex-Monogram Chevy Van is not listed, but is due in February.

I check Revell's website...http://www.revell.com/new.html. They are showing the January new releases, which usually come out at the end of the month or the first week of the following month....

As someone mentioned elsewhere, take a look at Tower Hobbies' website, as they are owned by Hobbico, the parent company of Revell.

There are also a few major distributors/vendors for Revell and Round2 product on eBay, so when they list a "pre-sale" and a release date, it's likely because they have gotten advanced notice of a forthcoimg release.

I'm looking forward to the Revell Chevy pickup with SNOT plow.....

Isn't the "Bad Medicine" kit the one that has the all chrome Corvair engine? I hope so, I have a glue bomb that isn't finished (luckily the engine wasn't started) but the kit has been moved (Daughter rearranging my room) & "is in a box the garage" dreaded words in my household, since the garage is a 20x50 building that has over half of it filled with boxes to the 20 foot ceiling.lol

Bad Medicine is a front engine hot rod/ dragster

[Dr. Cranky]

I think you may be thinking of the "Medicine Man" kit from Revell? I think that was part of the kooky C-cab hot rod series of kits, which all included Corviar flat-six powerplants- Moon Mixer, T-Bone Steak, etc.

I gotta check out that Star Wars Speeder kit.

Here you go. Built up from IHOBBY

Oh Pooh! Does anyone else remember the kit I'm talking about, it was colored in bright red on the box, & is based loosly on a T Truck.

I think you're right, getting older & the feeble old brain just don't work quite as well as it used to, but most of the other stuff does, & that's what's really important. After all if you can't remember it, you can try more often,,,,,,,right?

Ignore my later post, I hadn't got to yours yet. lol, there's that brain deal again

Omni Models' 'site, lists quite a few release dates (well. months at least) for 2012 Revell releases:

No, I'm waiting for the Monogram 1/24 kit from Revell, Harold.

[Darin Bastedo]

Anybody know the scale of the star wars speeder kit?

[Rob Hall]

No, I'm waiting for the Monogram 1/24 kit from Revell, Harold.

Revell's only upcoming announced Corvette new issues that I know of are an all-new '62 roadster and a '63 Corvette Grand Sport race car (reissue of an Accurate Miniatures kit, I think).

AMT has a '12 Corvette coupe curbside out now and a '12 convertible coming soon..

H.P. Found this on Daves showrods no medicine man.

[my66s55]

The one I'm waiting for is the 50 Olds, but I don't see any info on it anywhere yet.

[Rob Hall]

The new releases announced at iHobby last year were announced as 1st half 2012 releases, and OLDs have release months for some kits up into May...so I'm assuming those that don't have release months like the '50 Olds, '57 Ford Tudor, '62 Corvette, '32 Ford SD RR, '77 GMC truck, etc will be later than that...

[Casey]

I tend to agree with Rob. Any all new kit or kits with new parts (i.e., the snowplow in the '77 GMC 4x4) probably shouldn't be expected 'til June at the earliest, but I'm sure they'll be worth the wait.

[jbwelda]

has it been mentioned that it looks like, from model roundup web site anyhow, revell is going to reissue ed roths tweedy pie (the original, presumably?) and also the Orange Crate.

those along with the tony nancy set and that guy from gearz or something's 32 hot rod thats supposed to be all new tooling, make revell the ones to look for for my model $ coming up!
