Revell

Revell manufactures plastic model kits spanning military vehicles, sci-fi franchises, automotive replicas, and pop culture properties. The German company (with US division) produces kits in multiple skill levels from Easy-Click beginner sets to detailed enthusiast builds requiring paint and advanced techniques.

Star Wars Vehicle And Character Model Kits

Star Wars dominates Revell's franchise licensing with spacecraft kits across scales. X-Wing Fighters appear in 1/57 (22cm), 1/78 (22cm for Poe's variant), and 1/112 Model Set (11cm) scales. TIE Fighters include First Order Special Forces version at 1/51 (14cm) and Model Set standard at 1/110 (9cm). The Mandalorian's Razor Crest at 1/72 scale stretches 34cm—substantial display presence.

Millennium Falcon kits range from massive to compact—1/241 Model Set at manageable 10cm and Episode VII Snowspeeder at 1/52 (10cm) for smaller builds. Din Djarin character model kit provides figure building versus vehicle focus.

Model Set Starter Kits For Beginners

Model Set kits bundle paint, glue, and brushes with the plastic parts—complete packages for beginners who don't own modeling supplies. The TIE Fighter, X-Wing Fighter, and Millennium Falcon Model Sets enable immediate building without requiring separate supply purchases. This approach lowers barriers to entry for kids or adults trying model building for the first time.

Easy-Click System For Young Builders

Easy-Click kits use snap-fit construction eliminating glue requirements. Naruto Shippuden Naruto Uzumaki at 1/16 scale (11cm) provides character model building without adhesives. Cars' Lightning McQueen at 1/20 (20cm) serves younger fans wanting Disney-Pixar builds. The system prioritizes assembly satisfaction over advanced weathering techniques.

Pop Culture Franchises And Event Tie-Ins

Stranger Things model kits include the 1985 Chevrolet K5 Blazer at 1/25 (19cm) and generic Stranger Things car at 21cm. Back to the Future DeLorean receives 3D puzzle treatment alongside the traditional model kit format.

James Bond Advent Calendar features Aston Martin DB5 at 1/24 scale with 24 days of parts revealing—holiday countdown meets model building. Engineers Advent Calendars for Electric T-Rex and Hydraulic Excavator target STEM-focused gift giving.

3D Puzzles And Book Nooks

Revell expanded into 3D puzzle territory with architectural builds. NASA Space Shuttle Discovery at 49cm recreates the iconic spacecraft. Elden Ring's Stormveil Castle and House of the Dragon's King's Landing at 23cm serve fantasy franchise fans. These puzzles prioritize display over traditional modeling techniques.

Harry Potter Tiny Adventures Book Nooks (Diagon Alley and Quidditch Pitch at 23cm) create miniature dioramas designed to sit on bookshelves between volumes—hybrid decoration and building project.

Automotive And Military Heritage

While franchise kits drive pop culture collector interest, Revell maintains extensive catalogs of military aircraft, tanks, ships, and automotive replicas serving traditional modeling hobbyists. The franchise offerings provide entry points for younger builders who may develop into military or automotive modeling later.

Cyberbeasts Original IP

Cyberbeasts (Hydrofang at 35cm, Terratops at 32cm, Skyblade at 30cm) represent Revell's original designs—mechanical creatures combining animal forms with robotic aesthetics. The 1/35 scale creates substantial builds without requiring advanced skills.

FAQ: Revell Model Kits

Q: Do Revell kits include paint and glue?
A: Model Set versions include paint, glue, and brushes. Standard kits require separate purchases. Check product descriptions for included items.

Q: What's the difference between Easy-Click and regular kits?
A: Easy-Click uses snap-fit assembly without glue. Regular kits require cement for permanent bonds and typically allow more detailed finishing.

Q: Are Revell kits compatible with other brands' paints?
A: Yes, plastic model paints from Tamiya, Vallejo, or other brands work fine. Revell provides color callouts but builders can use any acrylic or enamel paints.

Q: Can I paint Easy-Click kits after assembly?
A: Possible but more difficult than painting before assembly. Snap-fit kits built first make detail painting challenging. Consider painting parts before final assembly.
