New Revell Germany Halifax?

I Wish....

the RoG New tool release is braille scale

(Link-Fu still not working.... ) 

1/72 REV04394 Handley Page Halifax 

http://www.revell-monogram.com/germany/aircraft/80-4394.html

Only other option is Sanger Models 1/48 Vacform...  Merlin or Hercules engines though

According to the description, it's the old Matchbox kit.  For a 70s 1/72 scale kit that wasn't too bad, but it was still a 70s 1/72 scale kit.

I believe Revell Germany owns the molds to all the old Matchbox kits and trots them out from time to time.  In the last year they have reissued the 1/32 Spitfire Mk 22.

With the old kit makers who have a large catalog of old kits, you always have to be careful where a kit's molds come from.  Revell Ger has released some great new mold kits in recent years, but the bulk of their releases are old kits.

Thanks guys. So it looks like no 1/48th.

Could this be the new Revell 1/72 Halifax  shown at Tokyo Hobby Show?

The Halifax  in 1/72 is a new tool and is scheduled (tentatively) to be released in November. ROG did release the the old Matchbox kit a couple years back.

Any other images available of this kit, the sprus, boxart ?

Looking at the first link there and then the second photo I thought great nice interior, then saw where the ejector pin marks where and thought impossible to remove. Dont they think about the pin marks??

Not seen any build reviews on it as yet. I am hoping for some decals for a Norfolk based aircraft as i would love to add this to the stash.

antoni, Hannants has it for just short of £18.

Links to observations, pictures, instructions, decals and a build article.  It's available in Europe, so if you cannot wait a few months for the slow boat to get to the US, then you can buy it online at Hannants, for a premium of course.
