                        Hi, I have recently been successfull in acquiring a Monogram 1/48 AV8B off ebay. I tried to get a B24J but the price went beyond $50 and I couldnt compete. I'm also looking for an A-6 Intruder. Any ideas? Thx in advance. Cool [8D]

                        I bet if you are patient enough they'll be back again from Revell with new packaging. Maybe even re-tooled as 'Pro-Modeler' kit.

                        But do you have any idea of how long it will take before Revell release the new A-6?

                        Well, that does depend on how much of a hurry you're in. Actually waited years for a re-release of the Revell 1/32 Thunderbolt and ended getting an early 70's packaged kit from a hobby shop selling kits on consignment. I don't think that bubble top P-47 has ever been re-issued. Yet the PBY-5A cam back after 5 years.

                        So far, the A-6 intruder should have been released... I place an order last week at Hannants for this long awaited kit. I can't wait ...

                        I have a B24J I would sell for $20.00. The box is beat up,and the decals are old, but the kit is in good shape.

                        The A-6 has not long been reissued as a limited edition, as the previous post mentioned, Hannants here in the UK had only 300 kits, you have to be quick to get one.

                        Try here :

                        Thanks for your information. Hope I am not too late to order. But it certainly takes a long time on its way from England to Taiwan!

                        HUH??? Is there a link for that? It sounds like just what I need for my old Fujimi kit.

                        For what it's worth it looks like Revell Germany is coming out with an early model B24 in 1/48 scale.

                        Wow... that A-6 update kit is kinda pricey; I just might have to get one anyway, with the lack of cockpit detail in that Fujimi kit being what it is(n't). Thanks for the link, Bro.

                        funny how that works. I've always found the update sets to be 1 1/2 to 2 times the price of the kit, but in the end it always seems worth it.

                        Not sure about the scale though. But Im sure there is are 2 ITALIERI kits (A6E TRAM and tanker versions). KANGNAM has 1 but its in 1/72. I think REVELL or MONOGRAM also have 1. and of course HASEGAWA surely has 1.

                        Note: ITALIERI is nice, REVELL/ MONOGRAM not sure it costs a grand up. HASEGAWA has good reputation but then also cost as much as REVELL. KANGNAM ......better look for ITALIERI and others.
