Zvezda B747-8

I found this and wanted to get everyone else's opinions on this upcoming release.  I have heard the Revell B747-4 was quite a bear so I assume this will be a welcome release.  I guess Zvezda is now leading the way in terms of airliner kits?

This is definitely on my to-do list. Based on my experience with Zvezda's other airliners, I expect good fits and great detail. Zvezda may not be leading the way but they've definitely moved up to the front tier of manufacturers. Revell Gemany has announced plans to rebox the 747-8 kit with Lufthansa markings.

Cheers, Aaron

Revell Germany has a foothold on the Airbus kits, that's for sure. 

I am definetly looking forward to this release.  I will probably get the Zvezda release as the Lufthansa markings don't really appeal to me.  I am sure some aftermarket decals companies will be making some more colorful options. 

Thanks for the reply Mr. Skinner
