Revell 2021 releases

[GeeBee]

These are upcoming kits from Revell in 2021

 

[MrObsessive]

I might go for the Jag convertible.....I do have a couple other brands however that I haven't touched yet (Heller and Gunze).

The VW Camper is a MUST HAVE though!

[iamsuperdan]

Bay window camper would be very interesting. As long as it's a full kit, and not a Revell Easy Click version.

Some more stuff listed at Hannants for 2021...for some clarity Dr. Oetker is a German Multinational Food company, the Canada guys will be familiar.  The 2021 new tool kit seems to be a "G" Model Porsche 911.  The few times Revell released them in 1/24 in the past they were reboxed Fujimi Enthusiast kits.  Depending on how literally Revell takes the "G" model will be interesting.  A lot of people seem to think that any 911 built between 1974-1989 are Gs, when in fact the G model was specifically the 1974 911s.  This is a bit of needle threading as the Fujimi kit of that specific window is a Carrera RS, and these seem to be more "mundane" 911 Coupe & Targa versions.

No sign of the 30 Ford...or is this list just what the German arm of Revell is releasing?

[Luc Janssens]

Hmm, maybe the Dr. Oetker van as our kitchen stowes many of their products, the rest...not my cup of tea sadly.

BTW is this an official list? cuz didn't see anything announced on the Revell site.

Yay! more vw's for the stash.

[Justin Porter]

Catches my eye that it appears Revell is going to have another go at an issue of the Fujimi GT40 kit in their box. Unless by some crazed miracle it's actually a new tool MkI GT40 OR by some sadistic cruelty it's a reissue of the old Aurora MkI with really inaccurate decals.

I wouldn't count on the 30 Model A Coupe as right now it looks like a "long shot."

Oh really?  That's a bummer - I expected it to probably be delayed somewhat what with all the 'rona stuff but I hadn't read anything to suggest it was unlikely to be re-released.  What did you hear?

Why? Revell successfully brought the Model A roadster back to shelves despite having to do significant work to make that possible. It has been delayed. So have an infinite number of other newly tooled projects. Granted, it's not the most hotly anticipated new item that Revell has announced (that would be the all-new 1/48th scale SR-71 Blackbird they announced this year) but it's still on the docket.

These are Revell Germany specific releases. They have no bearing on U.S. releases.

Hannats has been accurate the past several years. RevellAG will make their official year-wide announcement at 00:01 local time on New Year's Day as always. There's a whole slew of the other "IPMS" kits up as well, but since we're a car forum I didn't requisition copies of those photos.

VERY interesting. The Rammstein tour truck & trailer is listed as 1:25, yet all of their other tour trucks are the 1:32 Kenworth.

Anyone know more about the 79 Firebird Delivery?  Is this by any chance the Pontiac Firebird Kammback wagon , like the one that I beleive Lindberg did back in the early 90's?

Delivery means release, and there is no comma present,  79 Firebird, delivery: 2/2021

That says ‘70 Firebird. A reissue.   The ‘Delivery’ is for the estimated release date, on all the line items.  

[OldNYJim]

That caught me out too - I was like "what on earth is a Camaro Yenko Delivery?!"

Needs an Oxford comma, or the German equivalent

[Rob Hall]

They should have had the release date right-justified or in a separate column for better readability..

[RSchnell]

The VW camper and Rammstein tour truck have my interest!

[Bennyg]

I’m weird, I like the tractor.

Ben

[Rob Hall]

Lots to look forward to... interested in the T2 camper, curious what the Porsches will be... I like the mid 70s 911s.   I like the tractor, will fit in with the others they have done..

[the other Mike S.]

I wish that '70 Firebird was 1/25th scale.  Considering that is an American subject, I'm surprised they went with 1/24th scale instead of 1/25.

Any American subject on that list is something being reboxed for sale in Europe. In the case of the '70 Firebird it would be this kit which was just reissued here not terribly long ago.

It's basis is from Mongram in the Early 80s as it has been for something like 4 reissues between the Monogram & Revell labels in the intervening years.

I thought it was a new tool.  Thanks.

Oh! Me too. Now I don't think those were ever sold in the US to our farmers but I have the Porsche, the Duetz-Allis...and the Heller Fergie. I will gladly buy any tractors they deem saleable. Maybe a US version  like an International, Ford, or Deere would be considered by Revell.
