Model making meets aviation history

Why fascinating airplanes of the First World War

The First World War marked the beginning of modern air combat and fundamentally revolutionized the warfare. In just four years, primitive enlighteners developed into highly specialized fighter aircraft with abandoned armament and aerodynamics. This rapid technical evolution makes WWI aircraft a particularly attractive model building projects.

Characteristic features of the era

The planes of this time were characterized by their striking wooden canvas construction, coupled with innovative design solutions such as double-decker configurations or the revolutionary triple design. Rotation engines, clamping wire tension and manual details shape the appearance of these pioneering machines.

Model construction special features of the WWI aircraft

These kits offer unique challenges and rewards. The complex tension with fine wires, the replica of the fabric covering through structured surfaces and the historically correct color schemes of different air forces require precision and patience. At the same time, the manageable dimensions also enable beginners to build successful construction.

Historical authenticity in detail

Each kit is based on extensive historical research and original plans. From the characteristic bare crosses of the German air forces to the colorful season badges of the Allied hunting relays - the Dekalbogen enable the authentic representation of famous machines and their pilots.

The combination of technical demands, historical importance and aesthetic elegance makes WWI aircraft models into timeless classics of model construction, which fascinate both history-interested and technology-loving people alike.

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.

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.
