Now that it is past midnight here in Germany I wish everyone a

happy new year!

live long and prosper

Here is the news list of Revells plans for 2008 ... the 48 scale Mosquito is my high light but all in all it is probably the Junkers Ju 88 A-1/A-4 in 1/32. OTOH the Boeing C-17 in 144, A380 with interior, the F2007, Fletcher Class Destroyer or the Neoplan Cityliner will surely also have fans ... some may also like the Wolf (actually it is one of the most wanted kits of modelers of modern Germany Army equipment in 1/35 ) :

Just thinking about the Mosquito it would have to be good (both price and qulity) to bet the Tamiya. With a bit of luck (or a lot) they will put out a B Mk IX after the B Mk IV

Hi Fred and Jesper

@Fred: Revell has a "strange" habit with versions of a kit. Because their main market are department stores and toy shops, who "think" a Mossie is a Mossie no matter if one is a bomber and the other a Night fighter, versions were only produced if the first issued version is sold out. Depending on how good it sold, a 2nd boxing is issued sooner or later after the first edition .... I am still waiting for the Do 217 J Night Fighter to appear

@Jesper: yes, not my scale, but biiiig news anyway

cheers

Steffe
