Happy New Year to all our readers! Revell of Germany as issued a flyer of their planned 2016 kits with release dates. They range from re-issues, molds from other manufacturers, special packaging sets and new tooling. Here are all the naval related releases from that flyer.

First up for the Skill 3 kits:

Admiral Nelson Flagship, HMS Victory (No 05819) in 1/450 This is listed as a New Toolkit with a September 2016 release.

The Soviet Submarine "Typhoon Class" (No 05138) in 1/400 will return this year this month.

The fast cabin cruiser Sunseeker 'Predator 108' (No 05145) in 1/72 will appear this coming June.

For Skill 4 kits:

This cruise liner M/S Color Magic (No 05818) in 1/1200 for this July.

The WWII Italian battleship RN Roma (No 05821) in 1/1200 for this May.

The American cruise ship SS United States (No 05146) 1/600 will appear again this October

The WWII German Destroyer Type 1936 (No 05141) in 1/350 appears in May.

The German Frigate Class F122 (No 05143) in Scale: 1/300 is to be released this August.

The WWII German Submarine Type XXIII (No 05140) in 1/144 surfaces in February.

An apparent twist to their previous release of a WWII American LSM, a German LSM "Eidechse-Klasse" (No 05139) in 1/144 is also set for release in February.

The schooner USS America (No 05416) in 1/56 for this July.

The BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR set (No 05767) in 1:225, a kit of the HMS Victory with paints is for this May. Note that this is NOT the same kit as the earlier mentioned, New Tool, HMS Victory because that kit is in a different scale.

For the Skill 5 kits:

The WWIII battleship Bismarck "Platinum Edition" Ltd. Edition set ( No 05144) in 1/350 for this September.

The WWII Flower class corvette HMCS Snowberry (No 05132) in 1/144 is a new tool offering for this May. Artwork released for this kit still leaves in question the exact version of a Flower class corvette this kit will be because previous literature from Revell described this as an 'early' version of a corvette but the first version of these ships had a short fore-castle and associated artwork for this kit shows a modified version with the long fore-castle.

The tall sailing ship Gorch Fock (No 05417) in 1/150 is scheduled for this September.
Availability: 09/2016

And finally a re-release of the famous clipper ship, Cutty Sark, (No 05422) in 1/96 is set for an August release this year.

As we get more information on the new tool kits, we'll be posting it here.
