Revell Model Kits
You can’t build models for long without running into Revell model kits. They make all of the most popular model kits for children, but senior citizens like me find cool stuff from them too.
Even many who buy their model building kits elsewhere often find that Revell has the very best supplies and paint available.
Revell’s departments include:
Aircraft
While some other model kit suppliers focus on war, you can find model kits of all kinds of aircraft from Revell. If it’s a cool airplane, Revell has a model kit for it. Do you want a model of a B-26 Marauder or a cool CH-54A Skycrane? They have them. Do you need a boring model of an Airbus A380 passenger plane for a school project? You can get those too.
Cars and Trucks
You won’t be disappointed by their selection of car models. They aren’t limited to just American cars or just old cars either. If a cool car was ever sold anywhere in the world, you can probably find a model kit for it from Revell.
They have everything from a ‘55 Chevy Bel Air Hardtop to an ‘82 Corvette.
No model collection is finished without a Ford T Bucket. Trivia Bit: More T Buckets have been manufacturerd (mostly out of fiberglass) since Henry Ford shut down production than he ever produced in his own factory. It might be the most popular and most manufactured car design in history. You absolutely have to have one of these in your model collection.
Motors and Engines
Most kids no longer have the opportunity to learn about engines by working on the family vehicle. But models of motors and engines are still available. This is a great way for the next generation to learn about how engines work.
Boats
Revell has a full selection of boat models too. Want to build a model of the Titanic or any other famous ship from the past? If you can name a famous boat from the past, you can find a model for it.
War Models
It doesn’t matter if you are into guns, tanks, boats or planes. There will be a model of any kind of military equipment ever used.
People
If you are into reconstructing historical scenes, then you need to be able to put people into the set.
Pinewood Derby
When I was a boy, we whittled our pinewood derby cars out of a piece of log taken from the wood stove stack. I nearly cut my thumb off and had three stitches. Those were the best of times.
But today, kids rarely actually whittle. Some do. I taught my own grandson how to whittle. No. He didn’t need stitches like I did. Now the boy scouts just assemble pinewood derby cars from kits. Revell has a great selection of pinewood derby kits.
The days when we just varnished or oiled our pinewood derby cars is over. Today, the scouts put decals on their pinewood derby cars and use graphite on the wheels. Times change, but Revell has all of those fancy decals, weights, wheels and full kits to make your pinewood derby car a winner.
