Revell Model Kit Catalog (1972)
Revell Model Kit Catalog (1972)
It all began back in the early 1950's, when Revell introduced the world 's first scale model plastic car
kits, forerunners of today's more advanced and highly detailed plastic models.
From these humble beginnings in Venice, California, Revell has grown to occupy a 10Y2 acre
headquarters which employs over 500 people. Revell products are now manufactured in eight
countries and sold in more than eighty. In its 30 year history, Revell has produced more than
242,000,000 units.
Revell now manufactures over 200 different model kits, including miniature reproductions in exact
detail of just about everything that rolls, flies, or floats. Revell also manufactures fine quality
Home Race Sets and packaged crafts, 3-D Yarn ArFM and FabricArt.TM
Though a Revell · kit can be purchased in a hobby, chain , or department store for from under $1.00
to $18.00, the master mold for the model costs between $50,000 and $150,000. Every proposed kit
requires research and development, planning, engineering, manufacturing, packaging, advertising and
marketing. Its selection must be exacting:
Just what does it take to manufacture a model kit? The way it happens at Revell goes
something like this ... you the consumer, often write in and suggest a model kit you would
like us to make. These suggestions are passed along to our Advanced Development
Department, who evaluates the suggestions and make recommendations to the Revell
management team. If the management team approves the project, they forward the
project to the Revell engineering staff. An engineer is then assigned to the project and
is responsible for designing this model in such a way that it will be economical to
manufacture and practical to assemble by you.
From detailed engineering specifications, a hand-built original model must be created.
From th is original model, plaster and epoxy molds are made. These molds are then used
as patterns for the steel tools and dies which are cut on pantograph machines. Finally,
the steel dies are hand finished, placed in a mold base, and installed in an injection
molding machine. This machine can turn out a kit in twenty seconds that has been in
the research , development and engineering stages for over a year.

New large size now allows for full exciting details. The
426 Hemi engine, '·king of the dragways", is reproduced
complete with wiring, fuel and oil lines, and some even have
movable injector scoop butterflies! Wide, mag-mounted
slicks are the rear wheels. The new size also makes painting
and decaling easier and more accurate than ever before.
To introduce this new scale, Revell has selected the top

This technique will provide you with
an attractive model of the real thing.
However, if you want a more realistic,

As parts are needed, they should be cut - not broken - from the
molding rack or "sprue" a fraction of an inch above actual part.
Cut or shave away excess plastic on raised seams and around
edges of parts (round jewelers file can clean away excess from
hinge holes, wheel bearings, etc.). Check fit of any moving parts.
Check the box lid and/or photos of the real item to see where
any seams appear. Usually, seams between model parts should
be filled in with surfacing putty.

Detailing Ships
The information which follows is about ships because they
generally benefit most from more detailing. The tips
snown have many applications which can be used on any
category of Revell model. Stretched sprue can be used for
airplane guy wires or automotive engine detailing as well
as for ship railings. The "striping" described below can
be used for cars, planes, ships, etc.,
For the appearance of wood, paint basic brown color, then brush
or rag-rub on a thinned down mixture of a drop of tan paint in
an ounce of thinner. Flat (no-gloss) is best.
The filigree on Revell's kits is raised above the rest of the sur- Hobby shops and drafting supply stores often stock "drafting"
