We are happy to announce a brand-new partnership with one of the leading model kit makers in the world. The Revell brand stands for building the world in miniature and sharing a fascination for detail and skilled craftsmanship. World of Tanks has teamed up with Revell to create a new line of detailed tank models for model makers of all ages.
Those are all existing kits, with new box, new decals and with a (bad) WoT bonus code. sold for a higher price.
Revell does this a lot.
The Leichttraktor is an ICM kit, the T-26 probably too. Those are ok, price-wise. (getting the ICM box is still a couple of Euro cheaper).
But 22€ for 1:72 tanks is ridiculous. Revell 1:72 kits usually are sold for 10€.
Just saying, if anyone actually wants to build a tank kit over Christmas.
It would have been neat if it was tanks unique to wot, like the rino, but these are all very typical vehicles that you can get for cheaper elsewhere (and probably with better quality compared to these.)
This they had a chance to give us kits of tanks that currently dont have kits but existed, and wren’t 100% fakes. Like the CS-52, the Emils and Kranvagn, the Yoh tanks and the Czech tanks like the TVP VTU. (Also gotta include the ships too.)
Then again as long as 3d printers exist the demand for these vehicles is low. And its not worth the risk on making new molds.
