Rumour is that it is a 'new tool'....time will tell...

 

[Airframes]

Even better. If it is a Revell new tool, then even more proof that good kits can be produced at acceptable prices, instead of re-issues (of good kits) with the price doubled or trebled from an already high price. Methinks some manufacturers should take note of the Revell way - or lose out in the long run.

Totally agree my good man, just look at their 1/32 Ju-88 and He-111! 8)

Good point Terry!

Terry for president!

Then we'll build nothing but.....naaah, can't do it, that would be to easy!

This greets at Hannant's, on their front page:

Just Announced

Tamiya TA61113 1:48 IL-2 Stormovik


New tooling, Due end June, Price around £55.00​

Makes one wonder, what's wrong with AM's IL-2??

 

[rochie]

how much ?????????

 

[Crimea_River]

Probably the same kit.

 

[Lucky13]

Wouldn't be surprised at all!

 

[Airframes]

This is getting silly - re-issues of someone elses' re-issue, at increased prices!
Just noticed the Airfix 1/48th scale Harrier GR3 is shown as a 'Future Release' at Hannant's - doubt if it's a new tooling, so interesting to see what the price will be. It used to be around the £10 mark.

 

[Lucky13]

£25?

 

[Airframes]

Probably !

From Hannant's....

 

[Lucky13]

Also, noticed that it says that the IL-2 from Tamiya is an ALL NEW TOOLING....

Looks like a minor investment in some A-26 Invaders is on the wall too!

I'm sure you guys have seen that R/G is coming out with a new-tool 1:72 scale B-17F "Memphis Belle", due out in June. Saw the test-shot build on Hyperscale, and the interior detail is gorgeous, quite like their recent B-17G. I'm gonna get me one!

 

[Airframes]

Sounds good.

 

[Lucky13]

.....and 1/48??

 

[Airframes]

Still the old one for now old boy.

 

[Airframes]

Just seen the 1/48th Airfix Harrier, I mentioned earlier (forthcoming re-release, for the 'Falklands' anniversary) on the Model Zone web-site for pre-order, at £15.99. Described as 'Sea Harrier GR3' (!!!), with markings for two RAF Squadrons. Obviously, not a Sea Harrier, but the GR3 as expected. Probably the same tool as before, but I guess I'll ad one to the collection .....
