Italeri releasing repops this month.
« on: May 05, 2015, 09:36:05 PM »
Guys,

Caught this elsewhere. Seems Italeri are reissuing in 1/32nd the Academy N17 & A Camel, which set of moulds it is I'm not sure but be it's the naffest moulding. It has the upside down guns that much I can see But if the price is right theres some nice looking markings for both .

Also 1 1:72ns Spad XIII, probably a re-pop too but I've no idea what manufacturer.

Speaking of, Model Expo has the recent Academy reissues of the same two 1/32 kits on clearance for $16.99 thru Wednesday

http://ModelExpo-Online.com

Code AR9 for the discount


The Nieuport is tempting at that price, the Camel, maybe not so much. ;)

Are any of the decal options suitable for the late-model SPAD XIII?  It took me ages to find a scheme for the one I'm building (one reason it stalled) and I'll still have to make the decals for it myself.

its really odd that the re-tooled camel completely dropped off this earth and companies keep re-releasing the old mould - wonder why that is the case?

An odd question Petrov, but I check all the Camel boxes when I go to a show, just in case.

well, yeah I am not bothering with the old Camel but still think it is dang odd that that old tooling is still what is getting released given the far improved re-tool....

It's German meaning Naff fest (festival/celebration) :)
