Revell Model Kit News August 2024

[@putuplasts7940]

F-15E Strike Eagle in 1/48th scale, one of Revell's most successful kits and it's out of production. Time to re-release it with updates to modern standards!

[@JMChladek]

Or... What if it had parts tweaks done such as GE engines, more pylons and cockpit to have it able to be released as the first F-15EX Eagle 2 in 1/48?

[@boblarsen5385]

I am hoping and waiting for this to happen too plus update parts to EX version as suggested by JM.

[@putuplasts7940]

@@JMChladek I don't mind, as long as you can still build the good old Strike Eagle out of that kit! 😄

[@IHRZGHKIP]

Why? The Academy kit is widely available and the assortment of armaments really can't be beat.

[@putuplasts7940]

@@IHRZGHKIP Why? Gee, idk!😄 Better details overall, more accurate details, afterburner cans, have you seen those on Revell kit, almost rivals with the resin aftermarket ones! Plus Revell kit is one of the few that has fuselage with the wings as one piece, that's a big win for me. Some would say that it's the best Strike Eagle kit in all of the scales! Yes, weapons in Academy's kit is a huge bonus, also the additional details and upgrades to modern standards, but I would still choose Revell kit! 🙂

Thanks, and the English was OK. Thanks for doing this in English. I enjoy watching and learning new models and updates. USA Westcoast, Oregon

[@charles6232]

Revell. Please scrap the flimsy side opening boxes on your kits for more stable top openers. I’ve received kits damaged because of the flimsy side opening box. So Revell, get on on it please.

[@KevinsHobbyTime]

Looking good. I'll be looking out for the Countach LP500S. I've loved that car ever since I saw it in the Cannonball Run back in the 80's!

[@davidchampkin5999]

Change your boxes to top opening . So irritating to have the side opening boxes with Revell .

[@williwass6837]

100%Its the worst thing of all kits from Revell(except the german accent of the commentator)😂So weak and easily chrushed(i already had 3 car model kits with crushed roof!In 18 months!3 of 6 Revell Germany kits!All US boxed were 100%!

[@daviddooley5361]

Yes, make your boxes top opening instead of end opening. And while you're at it change your web site back to the way it was, the way it is now cannot find info on the Revell paints. It was much easier to navigate as opposed to the site you've got now.

[@johnblessing2642]

Keep the new tool kits coming please!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

It's a GREAT time to be a modeler!!!!!! 🙂👍

[@montylc2001]

I'm still waiting for someone to produce a 1/32 F9F Panther.....

[@draven7311]

Why no DO 17 in 1/32. Then we could have all 3!!!!!

[@theunknownmodeler3793]

I hope you guys produce the C8R !!

[@thetraderslife1706]

Auf die Ringelsocke freue ich mich. Danke für die Vorstellung!

[@gravel86]

Thanks for making these monthly news videos great format. I will buy the Corvette kit for sure.

[@fullsizecars4174]

No one has ever released a fuselage style C-body mopar. Can I request a 1969 Chrysler 300, 1970 Plymouth Fury, or a 1969 Imperial Crown?

[@stealthbomber2127]

Hoping Revell makes a new mold 1970 Mustang. Also a classic 1978 Pro Stock Camaro using existing accurate parts would be great too.

[@TXGRunner]

@@stealthbomber2127 there are a number of great kits they could re-release (1970 Dodge Challenger hemi stock hood, 2009/2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8), minor moded kits like a never before released 1971 Dodge Challenger or 2015+ Dodge Challenger SRT392 or Redeye, or totally new kits like any of the AMC muscle cars. I'd even like to see a '67 Camaro convertible.

[@garys_stuff]

Drag chute for the F-35? Is that a fairing or have you actually engineered a deployed drag chute? Love the optional ATC bumps.

[@davidhinkson8856]

The Corvette looks great and the Airbus will be labour intensive in terms of the paint job, but it'll certainly look stunning on a display shelf at the end once you get it right. The Countach kit is showing its age and it looks like one of the wheels at the rear and one at the front aren't sitting straight. Thanks for the explanation of the registration plate decals and the issues model manufacturers face in depicting them, but one of my main concerns with Revell Germany and Italeri is that they ALWAYS have inaccurate UK plates in terms of how the numbers and letters are laid out, and in relation to the age of the car.

[@rjkoeller4444]

You guys should think about bringing back the old 1/32 Monogram slot cars , maybe with modern Carrera Chassis and running gear , plus Monogram never offered digital cars of any kind , an easy fix for your company . The old 60's NASCAR racers , the Corvette Grand Sports , the Shelby Mustangs and all the old classic Can-Am and vintage race cars would be a great addition to the Carrera line of slot cars and it wouldn't cost a fortune in R+D and new tooling , you have it all already !

[@TXGRunner]

Keep the episodes coming.

[@majorkriger]

Nice video!! It is strsnge thst Revell never reisdued their 1/72 F-16 with CFT...

[@joedkidd888]

I would like to see the "Bill Signs Peterbilt" rereleased. I'm positive that I'm not the only one who would like to add that kit or several kits to my truck collection.

[@jamesdash1906]

The ONLY model I'm interested in is the "Can Do" wrecker !!!!!!!!!!!! I can get one off eBay but I'm NOT PAYING $600 FOR IT !!!!!!!!!!! So get with it Revell

[@petebesch]

Very nice format guys. Keep it up and maybe Revell will send you the kits so we can see the actual plastic. Personally, I am into 1/72 scale aircraft (mostly WWII on up) and 1/35 Scale the same. Honestly, all I want from Revell is either the old Matchbox tooling of, or a retooled 1/72 Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer. I still have a Matchbox kit in my stash, but I missed Revells release in grey plastic. I never heard about Revell buying matchboxes molds. I would buy three right now retooled or not. Thanks fellas.

[@randomnickify]

But... that's official Revell channel, read the video description 😂

[@petebesch]

@@randomnickify So? I did say Revell purchased the molds from Matchbox. That kit now belongs to Revell. The Matchbox kit came out in the early '80s and the molds are now Revells. What is your point?

[@randomnickify]

@@petebesch "Very nice format guys. Keep it up and maybe Revell will send you the kits so we can see the actual plastic" - they are Revell, they work there :D

[@stealthbomber2127]

What about a 1/48 FA-18 Super Hornet Blue Angels kit. F-100 Super Sabre Thunderbird kit with all of new tech mold improvements?

[@Rom3_29]

35:21 - Alex’s English sounds good. It’s not Germglish. Hopefully F35 is 1/48. Still haven’t seen any 2023 models released by other makers where I live. Waiting for C8 and other Revell cars 1/25.

[@williamtraynor-kean7214]

Re-release the 1/72 USS Skipjack, ideal conversion to a working RC submarine.

[@jeffholt9437]

Time to re-release the Dune Model kits (apart from the Sandworm..) me thinks!

[@randomnickify]

Meng has a license and possibly exclusivity :)

[@jeffholt9437]

Nice to see the 1:72 F-35. I'd love to hear more about production challenges and detail information like decals, additional equipment. Also I'm looking forward to 1:72 leo 2A7! Any chance that we get 1:72 M48 back?

I wish that Revell should re issue the '49 mercury woody soon ...

[@CycolacFan]

And in stock form with a flathead engine.

[@jaws848]

When will the 1/72 Tornado twin pack be available?

[@seavee2000]

Still no 1/72 T-72 re-release then.....was announced some time ago, then crickets.......

Can y’all bring back the 80 dodge ramcharger kits please? The last run are near impossible to find any anyone with those or older issues want both arms and legs to get one.

[@bobpratt8224]

Is that Revell hoodie available...???

[@emmamannn4318]

That lynx looks good, have they sorted the blade droop that isn't present in real life as the blades are pretty stiff

[@michaelhintzmikesminiature1812]

👍👍👍👍

[@CycolacFan]

Pity Revell have saved money and put those inaccurate narrow tyres in the Lamborghini. The rears should be twice as wide - as shown on the box art. The rear wheels aren’t deep enough either. Poor effort 😢

[@עמוסחדד-מ7ג]

What scale is the F-35?

[@johndillon8051]

You would make many, many modelers happy by getting rid of the flimsy, side opening boxes.

[@TI4438]

Oh wow. Yet another Corvette! Yawn!

[@gnatsum-uy4fo]

This is the first kit of the C8 Corvette. Some modelers have been waiting for years.

[@danestewart2539]

Meh

[@gazeldiron6908]

Goodness, never heard two dudes talk so damn much and not say a fucking thing... lol wow

[@AresGodOWar]

I really wish you would come out with more European cars in 1/25th scale, It's to hard to find any good ones.

[@Slycockney]

Great stuff and good to see you again Luke. It's probably already been mentioned but is the that an F-35A? If so, will it have an LN scheme?

[@lukestargamer3282]

Ich hab den Keller voll mit Modellen, aber ich komme einfach nicht zum bauen 😢. Ab der Bummel durchs Modellbaugeschäft und das blättern in einschlägigen Foren ist immer ein bisschen träumen. Ich hoffe, dass Hobby stirbt nie aus

[@paulocoutinho5228]

We need 1/72 US modern ground equipment, and 1/144 civilian ground equipment please! (well, I do) Since I'm at it, would it be too much to ask for 1/144 US military ground equipment?😂

[@kiwifruitpoo]

Please please please get rid of the side opening boxes and replace with a good quality top opening box. This is the biggest thing stopping me from buying more your kits. Also put a paint conversion chart on the instructions and label 20th century toolings as “vintage”.

[@kerusker3449]

Countach without moving doors? REALLY??

[@charlie1872]

Luke, is that a Robert Taylor print on the wall behind you ? I have two or three of his prints signed by Sir Douglas Bader, General Adolph Gallant and Johnny Johnson. I met them here in Toronto fir the 40th anniversary of the Battle of Britain

[@pzrgren2608]

Great episode and show. Your English is very good, keep producing the podcasts.

[@josephcox4319]

Would love to see the 1:25th scale Beall tank trailer kit again i finally got a mint kit on ebay but had to pay a hefty price would like to see the Bill Signs Peterbilt as well

[@mypl510]

What scales will the F-35 be offered in?

[@somting125]

Personally I’d love to see a 1/72 F-14A some time soon

[@dpswets]

That F-35 sounds great, love the addition of the weapons and even the dragchute which we're going to use in the Netherlands. First airframes are getting that modification as we speak I think.

[@ModelkitStuff]

Hello Alex, I see Revell continue to work in odd scales on car in 1/24 and on car in 1/25 Why is that? Is the Sea Lynx your 12 year old tooling, as it did not say new tool? Hi Luke you hope your new role works out for you. Nice to see reveal behind the camera.

[@randomnickify]

Most of "New" Revel kits are actually re-releases of older kits from other companies - hence the chaos in the scales. Edit: After checking recent "new tool" releases from vario producers it seems to me that everyone is using 1:24 except Americans who preferer 1:25. I assume 1:25 kits are made by Revel USA :)

[@AlexKahl]

I will try to get an answer in the next episode ;)

[@edwardhood6252]

I have, and am in the process of building, the Revell USA version of the C8 Vette. I want one, at least one, of the Countach re-releases.

[@joonassummanen6130]

You guys should think about making a new f1 model or 2, maybe one from the new ground effect for example. A Finnair livery passenger plane and a Ferrari road car would also be great.

[@garypic4083]

I hope they do a better job on they kits quality not like the older stuff.

[@jameslarosa2396]

How about the Jaguar xkss as a single kit?

[@markmccormack635]

I got to say that I love making the Land Rover,s that you brought out , now how about the Land Rover Camper van ( Caravan) and the short wheelbase Land Rover 90 series 3 .

[@davidhinkson8856]

Yes, it's time a Land Rover 90 came out - Monogram did one back in the early 1980s so that tooling must be available somewhere and the chassis components could be updated with the ones from the new kit.

[@markmccormack635]

@@davidhinkson8856 Didn't see that kit but Monogram would have done it in 1/25 unlike Revell Land Rover s which are in 1/24 so a complete new tooling would be needed unless Monogram did do it in 1/24 .

[@nigelmorgan-fo2no]

when tornado out

[@csjames69]

It is so frustrating that a model kit like the Corvette is in 25th scale and not 24th scale. What can’t model manufacturers make car kits in 24th scale?

[@randomnickify]

Blame Americans, they make 1:25 kits :) I assume Revel USA is responsible for those while Revel EU makes 1:24.

[@CycolacFan]

Or make them all in 1:25 since most of mine are 25th.

[@tonygary7611]

👍👍

[@onixfieroandscalemodelworks]

Ok now that you have to c8, how about re releasing the monogram 1985 fiero gt. America’s first midengine sports car. It would make a great companion to this corvette

[@gnatsum-uy4fo]

Think Revell sold the Fiero kit tooling to Atlantis, as that company has a lot of the older ex-Monogram models.
