Nuremberg Toy Fair 2012 Part 2 Revell

I have to admit I love going onto the Revell stand, They are one of the few companies with a permanent stand at the show so they are able to put extra effort into their display. They always have somebody demonstrating their RC range or demonstrating one of their new 2012 products but best of all is seeing the new 2012 kits professionally built, a quality I can only dream of achieving.....

As I stated in part one there are some small price increases, mainly paint, but overall prices are ok with revell.

There are a lot of new items in the pipeline for 2012, I'll try cover as many as possible.

On a quick note there is no real change to their Airbrush/Tool/Paint range for 2012. There is a slight re-design of the basic airbrush which they say makes it easier to hold and easier to change the paint.



So onto the kits, I would love to do a full report but there are so many new items that I'll just select a few that caught my eye.

First up is the Airborne command Post, it should be called Air Force One but due to licence problems it is called Airborne Command Post. The kit is impressive but maybe a little plain (pun intended) looking.....It 1.144 Scale and out now to order, selling for €22.95

Next up is the Ta 154 Misteal & FM 190, lovely and slightly unusual kit, technically its 2 kits in one so not bad value at €44.95

Another new new tooling, 04277  1/72 Supermarine Stanraer, lovely little kit selling for. €22.95, Should arrive into stock mid June.

Revell retired the large Corvette 2 years ago which was a shame as it was a very popular kit. The good news is they are going to relaunch it this year in the Platinum range. It will have far more detail including photo etched parts and wooden decks. We expect this later in the year, end of November, judging from their other Platinum models it will be worth the wait! price will be €119.95

Next up of interest is the 05110 U.S.S. Kearsarge (LHD-3), scale 1/700 and arriving in April, this will sell for €21.95 also arriving is the 05814 U.S.S. Nimitz (CVN-68) (New Tooling) this will sell for €11.95.

Below are a few more interesting kits coming during the year....or already released.

Star Trek 04880 €31.95

The New 1/12th scale 2010 Shelby GT500, Fantastic looking kit €59.95

03098 Henschel 33  D 1, two different finishes, this is due out very soon €23.95

One of the new 'truck' models from Revell, 07408 International Lonestar. this is also due out very soon €58.95

Great little diorama showing some of the very 1/72 scale figures in action!

That's the main news from Revell, there are a good few more new releases coming during 2012, as soon as our new site is up and running they will all be available for pre order.
