Something from Revell for the submariners

[MichaelB]

A US Skipjack Class sub apparently in 1/72.

Looks like Mobeius whom have just released theirs might have sold it on.
Lets hope they pass it on as it is currently tooled from Mobieus with upper and lower hull halves. If they re-orientate it, and lets see them not after the left/right hull pieces they insisted on going with on every other 72 scale sub they have done. If they do that, RC conversion becomes the usual Revell exercise of why bother.
Never have seen such grand noise over "simple" RC conversion amounting to two tenths of nothing when it comes to these Revell conversions hitting the water. The old case of never attempt to polish a turd as you just end up with shit on your hands.

Just been told by David M that Mobieus has done a deal for Revell to repackage the model and sell it under their banner.
The deal takes full advantage of Revell's vast (huge) distribution capabilities globally. So the bottom line is the Mobieus Skipjack = the Revell Skipjack.
