mongram panzer 4
Posted by blackdog62 on Tuesday, August 12, 2014 12:26 AM

I was at my local hobby shop yesterday and I couldn't believe what I found. A 1/32 scale panzer 4 with original 70s art work and logo and it was new.

Dose anyone know if revell/monogram is going to run the hole original arm or line ?

Back in the day for us old timers if you wanted armore it was tamyia or monogram tamyia had the higher price tag and the cooler art work and detail. 

When I got back into the hobby a couple of yrs ago I went looking for the monogram only to find out that revell owns them and stoped that armor line some yrs ago.

Revell is slowly re issuing the old kits in the armor line. The Panzer IV is the latest of these. From what I have read/heard elsewhere, they are planning to re issue pretty much all of their older kits at one point or another either in general release or in limited runs thru their "Selected Subjects Program". I just came across the Mk. IV at the LHS and it was not in the original Monogram blue or white box with the artwork, but was in a new Revell logo box with a photo. If your found one with the old boxing, it very well may be an original issue kit.

I'm going to swing back by there tomorrow and take a closer look I would like to pick it up. But working on another project that's talking my hobby funds.

For the time, those later old Monogram kits were pretty good. Early Monogram kits were 1/35, later ones were 1/32. I thought their German armor kits were among the tops of their line. Of course, they were from the 1970s and don't quite compare to today's kits.
