The ‘Big One’ is now just around the corner… Scale Model Challenge beckons! RetrokiT will be there, as usual one could say as we have been attending to this show since the late naughties now. It was of course a lot more ‘intimate’ than it is now, certainly the the best show we have had the pleasure of trading at ever since our own beginnings! If you have not been there before, do make the effort, it is WELL worth it!
We’ll be releasing at least two new releases at this show, a special edition Hallowe’en boxing of some of our famed Bananaaas, boxing that will be including three older releases that have been OOP for several years already and one brand new Bananaaa! (Pennybananaaa! for those who need to know..). The latter will not be available separately until late 2024, when we release Part.2 of our Hallowe’en Bananaaas series. Until then, we plan to re-release a number of OOP Bananaaas in special boxings also containg each time a brand new Bananaaa!
Talking of re-releases, we will also see our famed ‘Love at First Sight’ kit coming back at SMC and it will be re-launched alongside a Xmas version of it (Love at First Sight 2). All those ‘SMC’ releases will be made available on pre-order soon on our website so that those not able to come to the Netherlands this october can still get their kits.
Three new releases this September, all concerning our still growing 1/144 aircraft range. A long-overdue F4U-1 cockpit detail set, a Mirage F.1 ‘iraqi’ fuel tank and a set of deflated wing glove bags for the Revell Tomcats are now available from our website. More F-14 goodies are on their way but the end of the year will also see our TA-4J conversion set being re-released. We should be well into 30 new releases and re-releases for this year when 2024 dawns on us.
Until then, keep on scale modelling, Folks!
