The Invader is a rebox of the ICM model - Revell are doing this for several ICM products, including the UNIMOG, the Liberator is a repop of an old Monogram kit
' New ' in the Revell catalogue means - new box - new decals - new to Revell. Not unique to Revell, all makers do it

... not just drunk Sailors Mark...
..back,not SO many years ago,the poor who couldn't afford a place to stay,paid their farthing,(or whatever the going rate was) to an unscrupulous "landlord",just to get somewhere to "Sleep"...
... I saw this all explained on a fairly recent History channel series

Good info thanks Dave...
... But,... When I have looked for either of those in 1/48 recently they've gone for ridiculous money,...
... So maybe these will shake the greedy sellers out of the tree :smiling3:

Looks like it was based on a contemporary photograph. That waiter looks a little dodgy!
Next? Yanks at a cafe? Germans?
Dave

If they did Germans at a cafe you could do the iconic scene from the great escape…..”Telephone pour vous monsieur”…..

That’s where the phrase “I’m so tired I could sleep on a clothesline” comes from. Straight up!

The Cornish will  NEVER admit this..
.. But,and this has been proven...
.. the original Pasties were actually made/eaten in DEVON
.... The Cornish don't really have much to cling on to,so they tend to try and nick credit from elsewhere!!
