Revell Inc. have announced two exciting quarterscale "twins" for release this month - a re-release of Monogram's classic C-47, and the RAF glazed-nose version of the excellent recent Lockheed Ventura:
85-5637 C-47 Skytrain - 1/48 scale
It is considered one of the greatest aircraft ever produced. Before the troops landed on the beaches of Normandy, over 13,000 airborne paratroops in C-47s crossed the channel in Operation Overlord. The military version C-47 saw service through the ‘50s. Their greatest contribution was as paratroop transport in both the European and Pacific theaters of WW II.

- Full interior detail including cockpit
- 9 paratroopers and 3 crew figures
- Side doors in open or closed position

85-5533 Ventura™ Mk. II RAF - 1/48 scale
During WW II, September 1941, the first Venturas were shipped to the Royal Air Force. The Ventura™ proved to be efficient at medium altitudes. 50 mph faster, it could carry twice the bomb load as its predecessor. In 1943, the RAF switched service of the Ventura over to Coastal Command for use in anti-shipping and recon.

- RAF Boulton Paul style rear turret
- Bomb bay in open or closed position
- Separate wing tanks

Great news, especially the RAF-Ventura! But in the other hand, this is Revell USA, isn't it? So I won't get it over here in Germany .... Torsten

Hi Torsten It may take a little longer, but fear not - I'm sure the RAF Ventura will be also released in Europe like the earlier kit. All the best Rowan
