revell

Revell is a German brand of plastic scale model kits and related hobby products. The company is best known for its broad line of model kits covering aircraft, cars, ships, tanks, and figures. Kits are typically molded from polystyrene and require cutting, gluing, sanding, painting, and decal application to achieve realistic details. In addition to kit bodies, Revell markets paints, primers, weathering compounds, and a range of tools designed for model building and finishing. The brand also distributes diorama accessories and display stands to support completed models.

Revell's products have been sold worldwide through hobby shops and online retailers, with packaging that emphasizes accessible instruction and clear box art. The brand has competed with other major kit manufacturers such as Airfix, Tamiya, Italeri, and Monogram, offering both original designs and licensed releases across a variety of scales. Common scales include 1:72 and 1:48 for aircraft, 1:24 and 1:25 for cars, and ship and figure kits in multiple scales.

Originating in Germany in the mid-20th century, Revell grew into an international name in the modeling hobby. Through the decades it underwent ownership and distribution changes but remained a recognizable source of plastic model kits. Revell continues to issue new releases and reissues, maintaining a presence in model clubs, hobby conventions, and educational settings as an accessible entry point for beginners and a dependable supplier for seasoned builders.
