That's in europe, so if you're in the US or somewhere else, you will have to wait a bit longer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 The release data in your link says 04/2010. That would make it April-ish. ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 It hadn't reached Dutch shops as of last weekend - I'm looking forward to this as well. Cheers, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 A heads up - according to the site of a big Dutch LHS, it is now in stock. I won't have time to hit the town today, but will check somewhere next week. Cheers, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cpoud117 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 May we have a non tinted canopy! Please no greenish/yellowish clear sprue :fingers crossed: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 This kit is out in the UK.My LHS had them this morning. Stephen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andre Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Allright - I just picked one up. Cpoud, the canopy is tinted yellow, albeit somewhat more subtle than in other boxings I have - it looks workable. The decal sheet ("printed in Italy", for the connaisseurs) is very nice indeed - I can imagine the sheet alone costing more than the €13 of the entire kit. It is larger than the box, however, and due to the bending this necessitates one of the big wing decals has cracked somewhat... hopefully it won't break up whenever I actually get around to building, painting and decalling the thing...

Pete Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Is the Tigermeet option the only option in the kit? Or did they manage to squeeze a normal one on the sheet too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andre Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Is the Tigermeet option the only option in the kit? Or did they manage to squeeze a normal one on the sheet too? Nope - just the one scheme. But like I said, the sheet doesn't fit the box as it is. Noooooooooooo !Revell simply don't want to let me build one of their F-16 Well, with a layer of Tamiya Smoke it should look decent. I would prefer a nontined one as well, but I've seen worse in RoG kits... Cheers, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mario krijan Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) Andre how many AMRAAMs are in kit? i will go for one, because here in Croatia you can find hundreds of F-16Bs, but find any of single seater is really hard, even impossible!

Hey Mario, there are two clipped AIM-120C's in the kit, as well as a pair of AIM-9L's and three external fuel tanks. HTH, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andre Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Well, since I don't want to be choked to death by a Dark Lord of the Sith I grabbed my cell and made some pictures - crappy, but the best I can offer at the moment. Here are the box top and decals. HTH, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mario krijan Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Great, Andre! Many Thanks, that is re-packing of real MLU kit, i think that is right time for repacking their C kit, or making advanced D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ruud Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 uh, bit of a fail that the sheet is bigger than the box... Still good to have the MLU available again. Now when is the CJ coming out again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomcat Trebor Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Have to pick me up one of those or two. Robert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 uh, bit of a fail that the sheet is bigger than the box... I've sliced off the stencilling on the bottom of the sheet (which you can hopefully view on my crappy cell pic) and it now fits back in the box without bending. Still good to have the MLU available again. Now when is the CJ coming out again. Since the 'C is a righteous money cow for RoG, I'd expect a reissue sooner than later.

Ruud Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 True enough Andre. Of course they would make a killing from a D too. Always leave us wanting more... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big Kohona Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) What a superb scheme! I hadn't really planned on doing any F-16s but when I saw this one, my mind was changed pretty quickly! This kit has been popping up on eBay. I came across it a few days ago. So either the sellers already have it in hand, or it must be on the way to them. Did anyone see this new Tornado scheme for the Italeri 1/72 kit? It comes with a jar of paint for one of the custom paint scheme colors. Unless Italeri has repopped the Revell Tornado under their label, I thought about picking this one up and then grabbing a Revell Tornado kit to use in place of the Italeri one. Beautiful decal sheet and a great scheme! Edited April 29, 2010 by Big Kohona Quote Link to post Share on other sites
