Thud4444 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 The F-15C does say made in China. They had sold out of the P-61. They are supposed to have another coming on the next truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 As the gent who's videos from "The Stash Project" pointed out. If perhaps all those now clamoringto buy Revell kits had done this before now then they might have been in better shape? Just a thought.

Thud4444 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I severely doubt my two kits would have turned the company around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) Ive done my bit ... I build about 60% Revellogram to 40% others. Have since i got back into the hobby.

degsye39 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I am pleased they haven't gone under! I must admit to seeing revell in a somewhat dim light on my return to the hobby.. But picking up the superb 1/32 ju88 and 1/32 he219 changed my mind! I had a 50/50 finishing rate with kits as a kid.. quite a few that got done were the revells! i think the modelling world would be much poorer without those blue boxes! Now to pick up some of the wackier blohm and voss offerings on ebay! Cheers D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tempestfan Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I suspect the German version itself is a translation of an English original - "toolbank" is given as "Formenbank", which is a verbatim translation, but not really a set word in German...

The german version does not read as to be the translated version. If it is, at least is has received a very solid translation. 'toolbank' would verbatim translate into 'Werkzeugbank' Both versions tell the same story with the same verbiage. So they are 'interpretation compatible' 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tempestfan Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Apparently a lot of Revell's, Monogram's, and what remains of Aurora's tooling in the US has been sold. No details, but it sounds as if much of the legacy moulds has been considered ballast without economic value and was disposed of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which should be good news, considering the new owners are quite excited about their purchase: Atlantis Models buys Revell toolings held in the USA. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235042849-atlantis-models-buys-revell-toolings-held-in-the-usa/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
