History of Revell Model Kits

The first Revell-made mold was the 1953 USS Missouri, first issued in the narrow box. The first three aircraft kits followed quickly in one-piece boxes. The F-94C, F7U-1 and F9F-6 were molded without landing gear and with minimal panel lines and rivet details. Decals were included and the stands were simple, small and molded in the color of the aircraft. Box art was simple with limited colors. Kit numbers began with a “H” followed by the kit number and a price extension.

Revell quickly released more kits and went to a two-piece cardboard box with a lithographed “slick” on the top. These first kits are called “Pre-S” and were made through 1955. They were called “Pre S” as it was before Revell advertised the use of “S” Type Cement on the boxes. All aircraft were given the famous “Globe Base” for desktop display. The first base had a one-piece arm and a metal retainer. This base broke easily, so shortly afterwards it was redesigned so the arm became two-piece with a metal retaining ring.

In 1955 the “S” logo was introduced. These kits have a yellow “S” in a red oval on the box ends to advertise the use of “Revell S Cement”. This lasted till 1959 and is considered the “Golden Age” of Revell Box art and collecting. Original artwork paintings from this time are highly prized by collectors. Numerous molds were introduced, with the first “S” kit being the DC-7 Airport Scene. The final “S” kit is thought to be the A3J Vigilante from 1959.

The “S” kits comprised perhaps the most extensive line of models available. Airplanes, pleasure boats, cars, trucks, tanks, guns, military ships, ocean liners, animals and more filled the catalogs. All production was in two-piece hard boxes and the “H” code with price extensions continued

The Revell “Pre S” and “S” Aircraft may have been simplistic, but the “S” model ships hold their own against today’s better offerings, which makes them highly desirable today. The extensive line of sailing, civil and military offerings had a high degree of surface detail and many fine, tiny parts.

No discussion about the Revell “S” era would be complete without the remarkable space kits issued up until 1959. Revell spared no expense and had top aerospace designers create “near-future” space and up-to-date missile kits.

Revell understood the art of marketing. Cutting a steel mold for a model is time consuming and very expensive. To get the most life from a mold, Revell chose to create series names displayed around new box art. This way products remained fresh visually to the consumer without increased tooling costs.

The end of the “S” series saw the end of the “Globe” clear stand. Many kits did not come with any stand at all. In 1961, three series were launched, again with the old molds: “Famous Artist”, “Famous Aircraft” and “Airpower”. Famous Artist series featured artwork from renowned painters.

The “Air Power” series retained some box art and changed others. The “Whip Fly” kits appeared at this time. Kits came with a hole in the wing and a nose weight to adjust the CG. The airplane could be “flown”, similar to a control line model with no engine. In the late 1970s Revell slowly began discontinued the “H” prefix and went to four digit kit numbers and no price extensions.

In the 1980s and 90s Revell released the “WWI Aces”, “Squadron 144″, the famous “History Makers” I and II which was a welcome re-release of many rare molds such as the Visible Aircraft Engine, Mace Missile and Nike Ajax SAM.

In 1986 Odyssey Partners purchased Revell. Monogram was purchased by Odyssey at the same time and mold swapping occurred. Monogram and Revell were still marketed under their respective names, but all production for both companies was done at Monogram’s Morton Grove, IL plant. Hallmark cards purchased both plastic kit lines in 1994. In 1991 Odyssey purchased the Matchbox tooling from Lesney and ex-Matchbox kits were released under both the Revell and Monogram names. The Matchbox name was not used. In 1996 Maquire and Partners bought the Revell and Monogram lines and within a year combined the names to make Revell/Monogram. This naming continued till 1999 when they were again divided. Alpha International purchased the entire line in 2001 and continues to produce the kits under two names. It is expected that mold swapping will continue.
