Well maybe not exactly "new", but very welcome, nevertheless. There's been a lot of speculation recently about which manufacturer's Spitfire Mk. IX / XVI would be inside Revell's new 1/48 scale release, with people trying to guess by the number of parts whether it would be from Hasegawa, ICM or Italeri/Occidental.
Well, with the parts in front of me, I can confirm it's Hasegawa's Mk. IX; and very crisply moulded as you'd expect from that manufacturer.
Revell Germany have produced new decals for 2 RAF aircraft:
Spitfire Mk. IXc, 43 Sqn, Klagenfurt, Austria, June 1945.
Spitfire Mk. XVI, 308 (Polish) Sqn, Varelbusch, Germany 1945.
Both aircraft carry Type C wing roundels, so they'll make a change from most wartime Spits.
The price in the UK is £13.99 - so Revell's release is cheaper than Hasegawa's original and should be warmly welcomed by Spitfire fans.
