Civilian ships in model making - Maritime variety for every taste

What makes civilian ship models so special?

Civil ship models from Revell offer model builders the opportunity to reproduce the impressive variety of modern seafaring. Unlike warships, these models show the peaceful use of the oceans - from trade to research to tourism. The detailed kits convey technical understanding and maritime history alike.

H3: What types of civil ships are there as a model?

The palette ranges from impressive container ships such as the "Colombo Express" to specialized research ships such as the "meteor" to luxurious cruise ships in the AIDA fleet. Fishing trawlers, tugs and offshore ships complement the range. Each type of ship brings its own special features and challenges in construction.

H3: Who are these models suitable for?

Revell ship models are aimed at both beginners and experienced model builders. The different levels of difficulty enable a gradual introduction to shipbuilding. While simpler models convey basic techniques, more complex kits with hundreds of individual parts also challenge experienced hobbyists.

H3: What materials and tools do I need?

Most Revell ship models are made of high quality plastic and contain all the necessary components. You also need model building adhesive, side cutters and sandpaper. Model construction colors and brushes are recommended for authentic design. Detailed building instructions lead step by step through the construction process and give valuable tips for an optimal result.

The most common questions

For beginners, Revell models with Skill level 1 or 2. Level 1 include simple plug-in kits without glue, while Level 2 requires basic adhesive work. These models have fewer components (usually 20-50 parts) and simple color schemes. Experienced model builders should only start from level 3, since detailed painting and precise adhesive work are already required here.

The packaging colors show basic painting for quick results. However, the building instructions contain detailed color recommendations for authentic, true -to -scale replicas. Professional model builders use the extended color palette of the instructions for more realistic results. This enables simple projects as well as experts to replicate detail.

Revell publishes new models and new editions of classic kits every month. Around 60-80 new products appear every year, including aircraft, ships, cars and RC models. The list of novelties is updated at the beginning of the month. Collectors and enthusiasts should regularly check the Revell web shop, since limited editions are often quickly sold out.

Revell invests significantly in product development, precise injection molds and detailed building instructions. Each model goes through extensive design processes, tool construction and quality control according to EN 71.5 standard. The higher costs result from licensed original templates, multilingual instructions and the use of high -quality plastics that enable precise details.

You can get spare parts for Revell models from official customer service or authorized specialist dealers. Many parts can be ordered individually, with an exact kit number required. Alternatively, specialized model building communities offer exchange exchanges. In older, no longer produced models, 3D printing services or aftermarket manufacturers often help.

The basic equipment includes plastic adhesive, side cutters, files, basic colors (black, white, gray) and brush of different sizes. Primers, clear coat and detailed brushes are recommended for advanced projects. A cutting mat set and good lighting significantly improve the quality of work. Budget beginners can start well with around 50-80 euros.

Revell-RC models are differentiated according to age groups. Ready-to-run models are suitable from 8 years, while kit-RC models require experience in model making. Adults benefit from expandable systems and tuning options. The skill level identification helps with the selection-RC beginners should start with level 1-2, even as adults.

The Revell range comprises over 400 active models, which for small retailers is in terms of warehouse technology and financially. Specialist dealers mostly focus on popular categories or regional preferences. The official Revell web shop offers the full range, while local dealers often allow special orders. Remaining stocks of older models can often be found in specialized model building shops.

We accept product suggestions using the contact form of the website. Successful proposals take into account market potential, licensability and technical feasibility. Keep in mind that the development of new models takes 12-24 months. Detailed suggestions with reference material have higher chances of success, but not all ideas can be realized due to the high volume.

All Revell products correspond to the European toy standard and are regularly checked for pollutants. Safety instructions in the building instructions are mandatory and particularly affect adhesives and colors. Models under Skill level 3 are designed for children from 10 years, higher levels require supervision or are only recommended from the age of 14. The CE marking confirms conformity.
