Title: Revell 1/144 vehicles.
Post by: GrumpyOldMan on 11 October 2015, 12:45:19 AM
Hi

Saw from Kampfgruppe http://kampfgruppe144.blogspot.com.au/2015/10/1144-revell-vehicle-sets-us-army-wwii.html (http://kampfgruppe144.blogspot.com.au/2015/10/1144-revell-vehicle-sets-us-army-wwii.html) that Revell is releasing some Bundeswehr vehicles, M47 Patton, HS.30 and LKW 5T GL. Maybe our post war brethren may make some use of these  :).

Saw that, and can't wait.

I think they are OOS since they haven't arrived yet.

One UK site lists the three-vehicle set for 8.99 GBP.

There's a three vehicle, WWII, US set too, of a truck, tank, and something else.

Hi All

Well it all becomes clear now!!!!

I was wondering why Revell had released a set of Bundeswehr vehicles and now the news come that they are releasing the LSM previously released as a post-war German version with these vehicles and a Sycamore:-

Nice focal point for a scenario  :).

The WW2 option is  GMC truck, M8 armoured car with gun and a Sherman 75mm.

The helicopter is Bristol Sycamore.    Very useful kit for post war British RAF (from 1953 until early 1970s).

I am tempted !

I believe it's £8.99 for two of each in the set. That's what the Hannants website suggests, at least.
