troschi Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Hi Guys, Any updates on this reported "new tooling"? I have not seen or heard anything since the announcement at the Toy Show last Fall... Thanks David There are already three different testshot versions with slight changes. There are still some minor changes to do until the kit can be released. Fot Europe it's scheduled for August. At the Nuremberg Toy Fair in February, a built (by me) testshot model was presented at the Revell booth. Stay tuned, it's defenitely worth waiting.

troschi Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Please note: The recent release with the "Flying Bulls" decals is the old kit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

troschi Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) Hi Troshi I spoke recently with some friends about this model Is it totaly new mold or are they some old parts inside ? Norbert Except for a sprue with smaller parts which is already known from the police versions and the EC-145, the whole kit is a complete new tool. Faults of the old kit are not present anymore. Revell did it's homework. But this "old" sprue is actually very good and you only need the radar nose, windscreen wiper and settling protectors from it. Check out www.scale-rotors.com the next days for a detailed review. Edited December 6, 2013 by troschi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lancer512 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Please note: The recent release with the "Flying Bulls" decals is the old kit! Okay. I was wondering. So are you going to update that info at Scalemates? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
troschi Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 ??? The info on the timeline @ scalemates.com is correct. The Flying Bulls rebox is based on the first release of the old kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hooknladderno1 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Troschi, Thank you for all of your hard work on this kit and keeping us informed! I can't wait til it is available here in the US! Look forward to getting a few of these. David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFlyingDutchman Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 It looks fantastic. I can only hope that Revell will release a Dutch air ambulance or police version in the future! I don't see why they won't so I'll keep my fingers crossed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lancer512 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 ??? The info on the timeline @ scalemates.com is correct. The Flying Bulls rebox is based on the first release of the old kit. Hmm... Strange. The info when you click on the Flying Bulls kit is correct. However, that orange timeline links the new kit and the Flying Bulls kit together. All the older kits are linked together in their own group, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hooknladderno1 Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Any idea of when it will be availbe in the US? David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hooknladderno1 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 I am soooooo excited! I bought myself a few early birthday presents! They arrived today. The first is the new tool EC-135! It's a beaut! Can't wait to sit down and start planning my build of my former office! I also bought an Italeri 1/48 UH1N. I plan on getting the Belcher Bits conversion set and the Cobra Company firefighting water tank to do a 412 conversion. Any feedback on either aftermarket kit would be appreciated! Thanks.

markm1245 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 That's a nice ship, the 135 is one of my favorites. :)/> The Belcher Bits set is nice, fits perfectly with just abit of sanding. I used it on my 412 a while back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only dissapointment on the new tool is only one window on the rear clam shell doors. cutting the extra hole is not the problem, but having to fabricate and attempt to vacuum form a window is...
