Revell or German import Revell
Posted by SeaSoldier on Wednesday, January 16, 2013 7:52 AM

I was at the hobby shop and noticed two different Revell 66 Mustang fastback kits. I asked the clerk and he said the more expensive kit was a German import. Is the German kit worth the extra quid? I'm a complete newb.

As far as i am aware, they are exactly the same kits. Over here in Europe, we get the Revell kits in the blue box, i think cars may be grey,and armour is black, i assume this is what you saw.

Someone did once explain the relationship between the two companies, but i can't remember what it is off the top of my head.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

RoG do more errrr.... New kits of Modern German stuff,

but yes they put the same kit in different US & Euro boxes, so what they got depends on where your shop gets their kits from
