in this episode of Beyond the Box, Mos & Alex talk (often in a very roundabout way!) about the factors that go into making a model kit suitable for a new modeller. In Hit, Miss or Twist, they go through their choices in the categories, holding to a self-imposed maximum price of £15 - not counting ebay specials!

In this episode, Mos and Alex take a look at new releases that are NOT new toolings, and ask the question - What makes a new release "new"? Is it new parts, new decals, a new box, or just the fact that it's not been released for a while? In Hit, Miss or Twist, we examine some selections from the announced "new" releases from various model manufacturers in 2023 to give some personal examples of what we've been discussing.What do you think makes a new release? Where does the point lie at which it becomes companies selling us old rope for new money?
