several year's ago ( 2008 ? ) my wife bought me the Acadamy 1/350 Tirpitz.
Box was not shrink wraped, but everything inside was. Exept for the two hull half's, they were in their own cardboard cradle.
B.T.W.: Acadamy kit's are good in my book !
Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"
The kit contents of my 1/72 & 1/48 Academy products are in sealed plastic. However, no boxes are shrink wrapped.

I just recieved a Revell motorbike kit that shipped from a 3rd party Amazon supplier. No shrink wrap.
First time I think I can remember ever getting a non-shrinkwrapped kit, even going back my heydays, which were the 60's.
This really has nothing to do with your question, sorry........
99.9% of local hobby model stores purchase kit collections and inspect the kits and Redbox/shrink wrap them for resale. Like new.Also they tell you to get w/ the model manufacturer if any missing parts.Ebay is good at that.A local good hobby shop is rare .The internet is the new king.

That’s One I haven’t heard of in a while.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
The box or the kit : Specify.
In 1975 or 76, I worked at a Kay-Bee Toy and Hobby. We had a shrink wrap set up. When a new kit came in. I'd opene it, check it out and rewrap it. Nothing new.
Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
Not all kits come shrink wrapped. I have several that arrived without the wrap.

The last few I've bought new have been wrapped.
Hi " G "
You hit the nail on the head on that ! I purchased a 1958 Buick - A.M.T kit a while back and was surprised that it was shrink wrapped .They Never came like that new !
I don't know, but anyone can put shrink wrap on a kit.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
Hello all ! This may seem a strange question but can anyone tell me if all the ACADEMY model kits come shrink wrapped / plastic film, from the factory ?
Thank you very much !
