The best Revell model car kits

  • Revell range explained

Written by Chris Williams Published: 22 August 2022

Revell emerged in the mid 20th century, being one of the first companies to produce true-to-scale plastic model kits. Today, its range covers cars, trucks, aircraft, and ships and Revell enjoys a well-deserved reputation for high quality kits with a dedicated following to reflect that. In fact, the number of fans has grown recently thanks to the pandemic confining people to their homes more than usual.

In addition to our LEGO vehicle kit guide, we’ve put together this one for Revell to help you chose the best scale model car kit for you.

Revell skill levels

Revell kits are ranked from one to five, in ascending order of difficulty.

Level 1: Very basic and no need for glue or paint. For young children.

Level 2: Basic kits with up to 30 parts. Requires glue and paint.

Level 3: Medium complexity kits with up to 100 parts.

Level 4: Detailed models with up to 150 parts.

Level 5: Complex kits with over 150 parts for those who’ve done models before.

What you need for kit building

Other than the most basic kits (Level 1), Revell kits require gluing together and painting of the panels. Most kits don’t supply glue and paint so you will need to buy these separately. These extras aren’t too expensive though.
