i see that RoG has released the 1/72 PB4 Privateer.... woohooo! :P
link here

now the big question: is it a reboxed matchbox (boo!) or a newly-tooled (yay!) kit..... does anyone know?

p/s: it has been a while since revell kits came to our LHS... i wonder why? :huh:

Hope so, doubt it.

I think its a rebox...........following the trend at Revell...........

They also have a Beaufigther available - maybe thats also the Matchbox version.

Good question....first thought is rebox...

But I built the Matchbox Privateer long ago..dont recall it having RY-3 cargo version as an option..so maybe its new? Or just extra sprues? Or maybe im too old to remember... :lol:

Looking at Revell track record, i think most likely rebox....cos this aint a particularly "popular" subject anyway

Mysterious...

It's a Matchbox mold.

Understand that Revell Germany owns all of Matchbox's tooling.
