Halo Ground Combat - Pelican Model Kit

[Klingsor]

A bit off topic but I think it is worth a mention.
Revell are bringing out a Pelican kit in 1/100th scale which is very close to 15mm. Good news if you want a Pelican, bad news for Spartan Games who were doing them in resin.

Hi Klingsor! Welcome to Man Battlestations! If you feel so inclined, drop a note in the Introductions thread and tell us a bit about yourself--what naval games you play, where you like to play, etc. We have forum members around the U.S. and in a few other countries as well, so one of us might be near to your location.

Yeah, I saw that news about the Revell Pelican. The Spartan Games Pelican is 75 British pounds (converts to US $93.76 right now, according to Google) and the price in the pictures for the Revell Pelican is 39.99 Euro (converts to US $42.71 right now, again according to Google)--definitely cheaper, but I will be interested to see the two models side-by-side; Revell puts out some good kits, but sometimes their science fiction offerings can be a little bland or basic when it comes to detail. Plus, Revell has the license to do models for Halo 5, so the Pelican will be from that "era" of the game--as opposed to the Spartan model, which looks closer to what we saw in Halo 1-3.

Looks like Revell is doing some other vehicles as well. Here are a few links to pics from the recent Nuremburg toy fair, for those who don't have a Starship Modeler account:

From what I can tell on the Starship Modeler discussion thread, the Warthog will be in 1/32, the Pelican in 1/100, and the Scorpion and Wraith in 1/35. All look to be releasing in October of this year. I'll bet Colpar Hobbies here in Denver will get them, they have a pretty decent selection of science fiction model kits.
