Modern military aircraft: Fighter jets & stealth bombers

Modern military aircraft in model making

Authentic replicas of today's Air Force

The Modern Military Aircraft category includes construction of combat and multi-purpose aircraft, which have been in active service or have been developed to date since the 1980s. These models are characterized by their advanced aerodynamics, modern avionics and contemporary weapons systems.

Characteristic features of modern fighter jets

Modern military aircraft differ significantly from their historical predecessors by special design elements. Stealth technology, delta wing configurations and canard wings shape the appearance. The kits form precisely these characteristic forms, including the typical angular air intake and the often gray or multicolored camouflage paintings.

Popular aircraft types in this category

The frequently requested models include multi-purpose fighting aircraft such as the Typhoon Eurofighter, the F-16 Fighting Falcon and the French Rafale. Transport aircraft such as the A400M Atlas can also be found in this category. These aircraft represent the current standards of the military air trip of various NATO countries and other modern air forces.

Difficulty levels and target groups

The kits of modern military aircraft are aimed at both beginners and experienced model builders. Simpler models are suitable for introducing the military aircraft model building, while more complex variants with movable parts and detailed cockpit equipment also challenge demanding hobbyists. The different standards from 1: 144 to 1:32 offer the right display size for every collector.

The most common questions

Which Revell Skill-Level is best suited for model building beginners?

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.

Why do colors differ on the Revell packaging from the building instructions?

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.

How often does Revell launch new model kits?

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.

Why are Revell models more expensive than no-name kits?

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.

Where can I find spare parts for damaged Revell models?

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.

What basic equipment do I need to start the Revell model building?

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.

Are Revell-RC models for children and adults equally suitable?

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.

Why don't all dealers run the complete revell range?

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.

How can I submit my own product ideas to Revell?

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.

What security standards do Revell models for children meet?

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.
