Revell Revs Up 2024: New Kits Take Flight and Roll Onto Shelves
Calling all scale model enthusiasts! Revell has dropped their 2024 catalogue, and it’s packed with enough plastic dreams to keep hobbyists busy all year. While we can’t sing their praises just yet (we haven’t put plastic to glue!), let’s take a closer look at what’s taking off and rolling onto shelves this year.
Planes, Glorious Planes:
- WWII Warbirds: Spitfire lovers rejoice! A new 1/48 scale Mk.IX with Merlin engine variants joins the fray, along with a 1/32 P-51D Mustang in both bubble canopy and razorback configurations. For Luftwaffe fans, a 1/72 Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe promises jet-powered thrills.
- Modern Marvels: The F-35 Lightning II gets the 1/32 treatment, with both A and B variants offered. Eurofighter Typhoon fans can enjoy a 1/48 version, while civilian aviation sees a 1/72 Airbus A350-900 take flight.
- Something Different: Revell isn’t afraid to stray from the norm. A 1/32 Heinkel He 111 bomber and a 1/48 Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIC with desert markings offer unique builds.
Vehicles Rev Up the Excitement:
- Military Might: Tankers will be glued to their benches with the arrival of a 1/35 Leopard 2A7+ MBT and a 1/72 Challenger 2 TES. History buffs can relive Cold War tank clashes with a 1/35 T-72M1 Main Battle Tank.
- Classic Cars: Gearheads, prepare to be nostalgic! A 1/24 Ford Mustang Boss 429 and a 1/25 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 from 1969 promise muscle car mayhem. For European flair, there’s a 1/24 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing.
- Something Wheelie Cool: Revell isn’t just about land and air. A 1/35 German U-boat Type VII C and a 1/72 Soviet Kirov-class battlecruiser take the hobby underwater and across the waves.
Beyond the Box:
The catalogue also reveals new paint sets, tools, and accessories to enhance your modelling experience. Revell even ventures into pre-painted models with their “Easy Assembly” line, catering to beginners and casual hobbyists.
The Verdict:
While we can’t judge the kits until plastic meets sprue, Revell’s 2024 catalogue offers a diverse and exciting lineup for modellers of all skill levels and interests. With familiar favourites alongside intriguing newcomers, there’s something for everyone to get hyped about. So, fire up your airbrushes, dust off your X-acto knives, and get ready to build your dreams with Revell in 2024!
