P-51B Mustang Fighter 1-72 Plastic Model Kit by Revell Germany Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The kit itself is a very nice, inexpensive 1/72nd scale offering suitable for anyone that has built a few glue & paint kits. Similar to the (old now) 1/72 Monogram Mustang but with a bit more detail & much better decals. The fit is pretty good - I didn't need but a little filler. With all the sheets out there one can do several Razorback Mustangs by picking up a few of these.

Red Baron Fokker DR.1 1-72 Plastic Model Kit by Revell Germany Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Of all the planes and of all the pilots, the Fokker Dr.1 and Baron von Richtofen are by far my runaway favorites. This model used to be pretty easy to find when I was a kid, but they just aren't shelved anymore, thank God for the internet and Amazon!
I am not a hard core model builder, but I do have a room in my house with model airplanes hanging from the ceiling in a kind of dogfight. The Fokker Dr. 1 is in the center of the room and gets the most attention.
This model is not difficult to build and is actually a lot of fun. The spinning propeller and the detailed engine behind it really looks good. As do the double machine guns. I put all the white Iron Cross decals on it so it really stands out. It takes less than an hour to put together and is more fun than challenging. A great way to spend a rainy Sunday.

Revell 1/72 Eurofighter Typhoon Twin-seater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought one after all the rave previews on the net. Mine came with plenty of flashs, overmoulds, warpping and gaps. I had to file so many parts to make them fit decently. This is my 1st Revell kit, and the 1st impression is not good. Maybe I bought a lemon Typhoon, I don't know. I have another Revell kit, an F-22. I have to check if the quality is better. If not, then that will be the last Revell kit for me.

B-17F Memphis Belle US Army Air Force Bomber 1-48 Revell Germany Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the quintessential 1/48 B-17 F kit. Long thought to be lost beyond resell, re-released and available again for far less than the ebay prices
Less detail than the B-17G on the interior, and with a different cockpit set up than the G model by Monogram. It leads itself to plenty of scratch detailing on the interior, (with true resin interior details) the kit can really pop.
Highly recommended, to any and all WWII aircraft builders

Airfix A05007 1:72 Scale Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina Military Aircraft Classic Kit Series 5 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have built several of this Airfix PBY kit, and I have had fun every time.
It's old--1966--but well made.
And even though it is 1/72 scale, it turns out quite large when you build it.
I have also built some other kits of this same plane, but this is my favorite.
The whole kit is well thought out, and comes in medium gray, which takes almost any color of paint (with the possible exception of white) well.
The model itself turns out beautifully: the lovely fish-shaped body, the big teardrop turrets, the high parasol wing.

Revell Boeing C-17 Globemaster III Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this kit back in January and initially, (and I guess this is the funny part) I thought it was a 1:48 scale kit. Why did I come to this conclusion? because when I did a search for 1:48 scale kits, this came up and also all of my C-130s and B-1Bs (which are 1:48 scale) were all within the $40 to $50 price range.
So lets start things off this way... This is a review for a 1:144 scale Revell-Germany (made in Poland) model of a C-17 Globemaster III. Overall, the kit is good. Details are as to be expected when dealing with a 1:144 scale model. Cargo ramps are positionable, LG bay is ok and so are the engine nacelles.
I'll give it a three star to be fair, but I sincerely think its rather expensive for a 1:144 scale kit.

Tiger I Ausf E Heavy Tank Plastic Model Kit by Revell Germany Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a nice little tank that is reasonably easy to build. As in many tank models the tracks are the biggest challenge. Took me several hours to build and enjoyed it. With this scale, you might want to make sure you have a magnifying glass and tweezers, some small parts. Can't beat the quality versus price. Revell just makes nice models. Looks good.

Airfix A04033 1:72 Scale Douglas Boston III Military Aircraft Classic Kit Series 4 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like M. Barton, I built this kit long ago, and was glad to get it again.
It is built of light plastic--light in color and weight--and the pieces go together well.
The light gray takes paint well, and the flexibility of the plastic makes for easy building and modification.
There was one strange problem (which I didn't remember from before). The main wheels are each made in two halves. But the halves BOTH have male flanges. In other words, instead of one fitting into the other, both have raised buttons and so you have to saw the protrusions down flat. This is a bother, but easy to do.
Three sets of decals. Very nice.

Detailed 1/72 scale assembly model kit of the Douglas A-20/DB-7, a World War II era twin-engine light-bomber/night-fighter. Developed by the Douglas Aircraft Company and introduced in 1941, the A-20 served with several Allied air forces, including the air forces of the United States, Great Britain, Soviet Union, Australia, South Africa, France, and The Netherlands. The designation DB-7 was used by air forces of Australia, South Africa, France, and The Netherlands. Although the A-20 had neither the speed of a true fighter aircraft nor the range of a bomber, the type was a favorite of many pilots who flew it because of its rugged dependability and excellent maneuverability. A-20 bomber variants ("Boston") and night-fighter variants ("Havoc") were produced and used by Allied air forces throughout the war. This Airfix 1/72 scale assembly kit features the Douglas DB-7B / Boston III variant, the first batch of the series to actually be ordered by Britain, in February 1940. This kit comes with 65 parts.

Revell H.M.S.Victory Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This model went out of production at Revell USA some years ago, along with most of their once-extensive sailing ship line, so it was a nice surprise while web-searching to find Revell Germany carrying about two-thirds of the old collection. If you have fond memories of building these kits 30-40 years ago, here's a great opportunity to share them with history-minded nephews, nieces or grandchildren. (Yes, there are some out there, whatever Revell USA thinks.) Professional packing and speedy shipping.
