Revell spare parts: Buy original model building spare parts

Reliable RC spare parts for lasting model fun

Why make original spare parts the difference

RC models are precisely constructed machines that naturally need wear parts if used regularly. Original spare parts not only ensure the perfect fit, but also the same material quality as the original components. This is particularly important because inferior post -components can often lead to consequential damage.

The most common wear parts at an overview

In RC vehicles, gear wheels, drive shafts and shock absorbers are the most stressed components. Especially with intensive use in the area or on the racetrack, these components must withstand high loads. RC aircraft, on the other hand, often require new propellers, rotor blades or servos, as these are particularly stressed by landings and vibrations.

Preventive maintenance extends the service life

Timely maintenance with high -quality spare parts is significantly cheaper than a complete repair after a total failure. Small wear parts such as O-rings, bearings or screws should therefore be checked regularly and exchanged with first signs of wear should be exchanged. This not only prevents expensive consequential damage, but also receives the original performance of the model.

The availability of original spare parts over the years makes Revell models a sustainable investment. In this way you can keep your RC model permanently in an optimal condition and enjoy the full driving pleasure.

The most frequently asked questions

Which Revell skill level is best for model building beginners?

For beginners, Revell models with skill level 1 or 2 are recommended. Level 1 includes simple plug-in kits without glue, while level 2 requires basic gluing work. These models have fewer components (usually 20-50 parts) and simple color schemes. Experienced model makers should only start at level 3, as this already requires detailed painting and precise gluing work.

Why are the colors on the Revell packaging different from the assembly instructions?

The packaging colors show a basic painting for quick results. However, the construction instructions contain detailed color recommendations for authentic, true-to-scale replicas. Professional model makers use the instructions' extended color palette for more realistic results. This enables both beginners to create simple projects and experts to create detailed replicas.

How often does Revell bring new model kits onto the market?

Revell releases new models and new editions of classic kits every month. Around 60-80 new products are released every year, including airplanes, ships, cars and RC models. The list of new products is updated at the beginning of each month. Collectors and enthusiasts should check the Revell webshop regularly, as limited editions often sell out quickly.

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

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

Where can I find replacement parts for damaged Revell models?

You can obtain spare parts for Revell models from official customer service or authorized dealers. Many parts can be reordered individually, although an exact kit number is required. Alternatively, specialized model building communities offer exchanges. For older, no longer produced models, 3D printing services or aftermarket manufacturers can often help.

What basic equipment do I need to get started with Revell model making?

The basic equipment includes plastic glue, side cutters, files, basic paints (black, white, gray) and brushes of various sizes. Primer, clear coat and detail 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 equally suitable for children and adults?

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

Why don't all dealers carry the complete Revell range?

The Revell range includes over 400 active models, which is challenging for small retailers in terms of inventory and finances. Specialist retailers tend to 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 making shops.

How can I submit my own product ideas to Revell?

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

What safety standards do Revell models for children meet?

All Revell products comply with the European toy standard and are regularly tested for harmful substances. Safety instructions in the construction instructions are mandatory and particularly concern adhesives and paints. Models below skill level 3 are designed for children aged 10 and over, higher levels require supervision or are only recommended for children aged 14 and over. The CE marking confirms conformity.
