Fellow builders I have come to you for assistance, I have recently (within the last several months) become an official employee for the model Company Revell Monogram, I work in Marketing, Public Relations, and assist in product development. 

   We are currently working twords redesigning our web site and one of the things that we would like to add would be links for the following things.

    Links to car model aftermarket company sites.   

    Links to good sites in which to do research for building model cars, sites that would have pictures, diagrams, the history of the car ect...............

     Since I am an avid ww2 aircraft modeler, I know the level of knowledge that this forum has and have seen the level of expertese grow over the years here, I am confident that the model building community will be able to assist myself and Revell in this matter.

Thank you for your time

The Skies the Limit,

Well VA, I'll gladly add my My 2 cents [2c] worth!  Wink [;)]

First, I hope you're talking about automotive model aftermarket company sites.

The second idea will end up with tons of links.
I'm in the process of opening a small mom & pop hobby shop in NH and then an online catalog/shoping cart. But I was thinking of doing something similar, pics of the real cars (interior & exterior), basic production info, available factory colors for the year, etc. What I think would work best, supply that info on site and not just links to hundreds of other sites.

I have another idea I would like to throw at you if you don't mind.
AMT has a small history of some of their older releases. I think it would be a nice idea if Revell did one better. Keep an on going online catalog, with pictures and release dates so collectors can look up older kits. Even though I'm opening a hobby shop, my son and I are into certain types of car kits (muscle cars mostly) and collect them when we come across them. You'd be surprised how many people actually are looking for the older kits that build stock. Hint hint Big Smile [:D]

Another idea for the website is maybe include a picture of the model box. Some people visit Revell's website and then shop at their local department stores, such as kids with their parents. Maybe list the recommended paint colors as are listed on the box. I know I'm suggesting a lot of information be posted, but I think that would really make Revell stand out even more over other model companies. I'm not saying they don't now, just going that little extra I think would make a big difference to some visitors.

Just my thoughts.  Smile [:)]

Done...  Thumbs Up [tup]

I even had some suggestion on future kits.  Big Smile [:D]

Not that large corporations will listen to a lone voice though...  Sad [:(]

VA,

I assume you are aware of the numbers of threads here regarding R/M.  There is a ton of support/criticism in those.  You'd also find numerous suggestions that would really improve R/Ms sales and profits, as well as expand the market rather than focus it to the very serious builders.  You'll find that "we" want both the new and updated and the classic kits we all know and love.  I think most people that criticize R/M's product lines lack of updates do so because they want the company to improve and stay with us for years to come.
