Also Revell announced new upcoming releases for the first months of 2026 at Scale Model World!

A- AIRCRAFT AND HELICOPTERS

1 – 1/32 Gloster Meteor F-8/FR.9 First Edition

The most anticipated model of this year is still due for 2025 – final components and the special booklet included on the ‘FIRST EDITION’. Buying her at Telford is not possible, pre-order is still open. 3,000 units…. Selling fast, selling good, expect deliveries however around Christmas or more likely after New Year.

2 – 1/32 Messerschmitt Bf 109G-10 Erla

While Kotare focuses on the E-model and Airfix releasign the 1/24 G-5/G-6, Revell brings out a 1/32 G-10 Erla, with as the boxart hints at, an Erich Hartmann version! Straight re-release since she has been out of production 10-15 years ago. Decals from Cartograph, same versions as she was at the beginning of the Millenium.

3 – 1/48 Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4 ‘Moggie’ (RAF solo display 80 years Operation Overlord)

After been released as the ‘Baron Spirit (Luftwaffe)’ and the ‘Black Jack (RAF)’, the kit now comes with the much-coveted ‘Moggie’ markings, the 2024 solo display livery in comemmortation of 80 years D-Day, complete with WW2 camo scheme and invastion stripes, given the ‘Tiffy’ of modern times the look of her illustrious predecessor by Hawker.

4 – 1/144 Lockheed L.1049G Super Constellation – Lufthansa 100

Due in February and as part of the 100 years Lufthansa tribute if you will, is this fan favourite returning to the fold. The ‘Super Connie’ remains an icon in its own right, and even when not a fan of small scale airliners, no modeller that would not be mesmerized by this wonderful bird of the postwar era. The livery included are however very recent, since the company’s remaining and fully restored aircraft bears these exact markings!

5 – 1/48 Lockheed SR-71B ‘Blackbird’

A few years back, Revell scored a major hit with their excellent SR-17A, complete with 2 very detailed renditions of the very unique engines that drove the ‘Habu’ or ‘Sled’ as she was also known well beyond Mach 3. There were some aircraft in the fleet that looked slightly differen however, featuring a raised second cockpit, serving primarily as a trainer and identified as the B-model. Revell now completes this iconic aircraft range by issuing the B-model with added parts to match this peculiar looking Blackbird!

6 – 1/72 Focke-Wulf ‘Flitzer’ P-Series (re-release)

Rejoining the catalogue is this 3d entry for the so-called P-series of German designs that never gotten beyond the drawing board or, in some cases, the prototype assembly.
This aircaft is from the first category, and even in the small 1/72 scale range, comes packed with intricate details of this ‘what-if’ aircraft, that did inspire postwar designs greatly.

7 – 1/72 Blue Angels 8 Years Gift Set

2026 also marks the 80th anniversary of the US Navy aerobatics stunt team, the Blue Angels, that had quite a number of different aircraft in her long carreer. while the actual set is yet to be determined in terms of actual content and final artwork, this preliminary hints at 2 iconic designs at least in the blue and gold livery, in the form of the F6F Hellcat and the F/A-18A Hornet, which form the first and current machines of the Angels!

8 – 1/144 Westland Puma HC.1

Spring chops in with this baby helicopter in 1/144 scale of the Westland Puma HC.1, that will definitely spark the inspiration for the fans of the Belgian version that flew with our Rijkswacht. Sadly, the decals do not include this version, but it is no less a promising re-release…

9 – 1/32 Messerschmitt Me 262 A1a_U4

The legendary ‘Schwalbe’ returns in April with new parts to make this heavily armed jet version of the dreaded ‘Kanonenvogel’, aimed at both ground support roles as well as a stopper for the onslaught from allied bombers. although this version did never fly in production numbers, with only 1 or 2 ever built, it is however a very interesting topic, showing the versatility of the world’s first operational jet fighter, in 1/32 scale no less.
The decal options included offer her the German markings or the USAAF markings, as she was captured intact and thoroughly tested… A concept that would return almost 40 years later in the form of the A-10…

10 – 1/144 Airbus A350-900 – Lufthansa 100

Lastly for the announced kits so far, is this re-release of the A350-900 that will most likely be issued with the very recent centennial scheme Lufthanse only recently revealed – hence the prototype kit image for now. Offering a splendid addition to any airliner fleet for sure!

B- CARS, TRUCKS AND VEHICLES

1 – 1/24 Rosenbauer GFLF 8×8 Simba crash tender

Only the 3d time this behemoth returns to the catalogue and it has been in hig demand – the Simba 8×8 crash tender! The kit will be over 300 parts to have a lot of options, such as the doors can be opened, the front foam gun, roof gun, forward wheel sets can swing, engine bay, utility bays and so on. This kit will most likely be a hot seller for fans of uncommon firetrucks and due to her size, offers the option for lighting and sound – limited release!

2 – 1/24 gift set 50 years of the Volkswagen Golf GTI

a good chance your parents (or even your grand parents) may have had one of these – the first generation of a cult car. We are of course talking about the VW Golf, who’s currently down to her 9th generation and started as a city car that proved to be as iconic as the Beetle in many regards. With 50 years under her proverbial belt, Revell issues this icon of the roads in a gift set edition, with undoubtedly a ‘golf’ of goodies!

3 – 1/24 2022 Corvette Cabriolet

Fans of the Corvette finally get a chance to the youngest member of the series – and in a convertible version no less – to bring their US Muscle Car range up to more recent standards! Molded in sporty blue and prototype license plates, she has way more under the hood (or bonnet) to keep you going fast and furious for sure.

4 – 1/32 Jaguar SS 100

A vintage race monster joins the catalogue in February in the form of this Jaguar SS 100, in a sporty black finish (but of course room for own interpretations), excellent detail work and of course the British style all over. The final box art is yet to be determined, so we get to enjoy this stunning prototype build!

5 – The Mandalorian and Grogu kit(s) – TBC

Announced for March next year, but uncertain as to what it will be, is this teaser promising something to supplement the existing line with – no doubt – a ground vehicle (given the entrance into this section, obviously) to get the fans of ‘Mando’ and ‘Baby Yoda’ excited about! So keep an eye out for these, as this is the Way…

6 – 1/32 Starter Kit VW Buggy

Back from last decade since she was last issued, the VW Buggy is back! this sand-digger version of the Beetle (with a Kübelwagen twist) is ideal for the starting model builder of all ages, due to her low parts count but still brings enough attention to any table she may grace! And, as this is a starter kit, it comes with the normal extra paints, brush, glue and lots of building fun!

7 – 1/32 Starter Kit Corvette C3

Another addition to the Starter Kit range is this classic Corvette C-3, that will no doubt inspire fans of the original A-Team series where one of these also appeared (next to the C4 model), and even without this little wink, the car is perfectly capable of standing on its own. Like the Buggy she has low parts count for an easy build, complemented with paints, brush and a mini Contacta Professional glue bottle.

8 – 1/32 Aston Martin Ulster

Another vintage car entering the catalogue after the Jaguar SS-100 is this Aston Martin Ulster, also coming in a race version as depicted but also in flashy red as the actual box art for this re-issue in March 2026!

9 – 1/32 Gift Set 70 Years of BMW – BMW 507 Roadster

2026 also sees the 7th decade jubilee for the Bavarian car and motor company BMW, which Revell celebrates with this beautiful BMW 507 Roadster, the forerunner of the future Z-range (as well as inspiring other car brands in Europe), issued in a gift set with further content and goodies to be determined!

10 – 1/32 Fast and Furious 25 Years Specials

The silver jubilee also beckons for 2026 for the Fast and Furious movie series and, with other cars well covered even in the current catalogue, Revell brings out a new box-design along with this stunning scale model of the Plymouth GTX of 1971, bringing the thrill of Christine in a more contemporary furious version, ready to hit the streets!

Also following the new box-design will be another jubilee edition for this Chevy Camaro of 1969, the Camaro Yenko, also driven by Dominic, as part of the 25 years releases!

Already out are the 2 most well-known cars from the series, namely this 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse from 1995 (driven by Brian) and the monstrous 1970 Charger (driven by Dominic with the big engine) that are mentioned here as they are available and ran as prototypes for the new box-design!

C – MILITARY AND SHIPS

1 – 1/400 RMS Queen Mary 2

Making her triumphant return is the first of the new generation of ocean liners / cruise ships by Cunard, in the form of the majestic Queen Mary 2, in a stunning new box but with all the finely detailed parts and decals that are so well-known and still very sought after!

2 – 1/35 Leopard 2A4 Special Decoration ‘4Oth Anniversary’ of Leopard 2 series

The Leopard 2 has been a mainstay for the German Army and other armies as well, and this 2A4 was one of the most widely-used. No wonder she ended up carrying the anniversary livery as shown – and will be the main decal option for this big icon of a kit!

3 – Authentic Kit – The Firefighter

Back from model history with a new release following high demand for this kit first issued in the Sixties, this 1/87 scale ship still measures a whopping 50 scm long with lots of moving parts and options, following the refurbishing of the molds. The ship first saw service in 1938 but still continued to be in service until well into 2002 (at least the boat type). Making for an historical icon that should not be left out of your scale model collection!

MORE TO COME – INCLUDING NEW TOOLS IN JANUARY!

NOTE: scales and final liveries may vary per kit when eventually released.
