Pep Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 SO today i received my latest eBay purchase in the mail. The infamous revel hind in 48th scale. the box was sealed in what appeared to be the original plastic wrap and when i opened it the sprues where also in plastics wraps all looks legit. but when i was looking to buy the hind all the descriptions i read of the kind state "Optional standard fuel/weapons pod or extra capacity fuel/weapons pod and four nuclear bombs. " which i recon meant it had some extra bombs and external fuel tanks (i was actually really hoping for the fuel tanks) alas mine was missing all these goodies my question is this. Did i misread the description and all that comes with the kit are the old monogram rockets? or did revell really add extra weapons / tanks i got the shaft? my English is not perfect so i may have gotten it wrong here's a link to the revel site tell me what you think Linky Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muswp1 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 To the best of my knowledge, the current Hind kit is just the old kit with new decals. It would not be the first time that the Revell website was wrong Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pep Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Good point, they do state it has a " •Detailed cockpit" (Sarcasm) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I wonder if they accidentally copied that extra text from a B-58 kit description. The B-58 comes with the TCP upper component, full TCP, and 4 nuclear gravity bombs. The Hind text also says "Detailed cockpit showing unique ejection pod.", which also is a feature of the Hustler kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
