Hi Gang,
right for the new year Revell of Germany announced their new releases for 2015.

GTK Boxer Schweres Geschützes Sanitätskrftfahrzeug (Ambulance) is very exciting!
Hans-Hermann
P.S. Not to forget an early batch Leopard 1 and the Leopard 2 A5 NL

Hey Hans, Happy new year. Thanks for sharing this bit of info; off shore oil rig just kinda caught my attention. Some ideas flaoting around already.

Happy new year and thx for telling this news! I'm happy to see an early Leopard and curious about the tracks RoG is going to put into that box...

Hi Bob,
that Off-shore rig is one of Revells classic kits. I build it decades ago, a very impressive kit. IIRC it had pre-colored spures.

Hi Gang,
heer some additional nformations from IPMS Deutschland.

Under "Bemerkung" (remark) you can see what`s the kits origin.

Here you can find images of the real off-shore rig and the kit.

Thx for sharing. Great to see they're continuing reboxing ICM kits... although I'm not aware of a 1:35 T-34 by ICM...

Surprised they are not doing a 1/35 Fennek

Why waste time and resources when the Fennek is announced from Trumpeter?

Saw this yesterday excited by the ambulance mostly but also the Leopard.

Cheers,

Christophe

The link is not working.

Ditto, keeps timing out on me.

Looks like ICM is releasing a new T34, it's announced on their website. Not to be confused with the OLD Revell T 34/76 which is a Zvezda rebox.

ICM announced their T-34 a few months ago, and Revell has announced their rebox when it's not even out in an ICM box yet. It will probably be cheaper in the Revell/Germany box, though. And it would be nice to see a fresh iteration of the early T-34, as Dragon's kits have unwanted details on the mudguards that have to be removed, and the driver's hatch on some of their kits is located too far from the centerline, requiring some surgery on the glacis plate.

Thanks, H.H.!

Slightly Off Topic, I know: Though it is not my scale of choice, I was really hoping for some 1/144 U.S. armor and softskins to go with those included with Revell Germany's new Landing Ship Medium kit of the same scale.

Hoping for 1/144:

- M4A3
- Willys Jeep
- DUKW
- M29 Weasel
- M2 or M3 halftrack
- Any LVTs
- LCM3 or LCVP
- Marine artillery
- Navy crew, Marines, Army figures

Fingers crossed for any of the above and some additional craft in that scale.

And I thought I had problems seeing 1/35th scale!

With Regards and Aloha,

Johnny B.

Because the Trumpeter Fennek is hugely over-priced and they have already done most of the current Bundeswere vehicles
And since when have producers not released something just because another manufacturer already released it?
