They are not out of business, but the company has gone through a lot of changes and is overseas based, with offices in the US.

Their website suggests you contact their home "office" in Germany.

 
Consider making your own parts. For instance, the parts 78 stanchions for the forward gun position.
 
They could be pieces of wire, and in fact Revell would have you make the horizontal bars with thread. The actual boats had curved tubing, again making your own might look better.
 
Or look on the aftermarket.
 
Good luck,

Not sure when you bought your kit, but a couple of years ago Revell USA went out of buisness and its now just Revell of Germany. best check their website as that should have contact details.

The kit was re-released this year so you might be lucky.

Need Help In Obtaining Replacement Parts From Revell
Posted by Trim Tab on Wednesday, September 23, 2020 8:00 AM

Hi everybody.

I'm having a bit of difficulty obtaining some small replacement parts to my Revell, Gato Class Submarine. 

I did check the model's instruction plans and I did write a letter of request for the parts from the address provided. I sent the letter of request to : 

Revell, Inc. Consumer Service 1850 Howard St. Unit A Elk Grove Village, Ill. 60007

All my letters of request to order the needed parts sent to the above address have all so far been returned to me with a note from the post office stating that they are not deliverable as addressed/ Unable to forward.

Has Revell gone out of business? Is the Postal Service going downhill?

Since the parts needed were unfortunantely broken in a move from Ipswich, Mass. down to Salisbury, N.C., I cant finish my beloved sub... and it is looking so beautiful too!

Parts needed are:

#1. Part #78- 6 needed

#2. Part # 192- 1 needed

#3. Part #193- 1 needed

#4. Part # 82- 1 needed

Any advice, anyone?

Thank you!!
