How i hate Revell

[Mainomega]

I HATE IT !! I HATE IT !! I HATTTEEE IT !!

My BMW 316I kit is the wost kit i've made, you wouldn't even call it a 1/24 scale BMW 316i. It had about 20 mistakes, the instruction sheet misses more parts that there are instructions. Pins are in the wrong place, holes are molded to the opposite and revese of the part.

When i was a kid I build my first revell, i think it was the testarosa. and it had mistakes too. Now i know why i hate revell

sorry but I FUCKING HATE THEM.


alright, that made me feel a little better. what a waste of my time this thing was. I'm glad the only kits i've bought now are Tamiya.

I hate Revell too.. but just took an Integra at my Hobbyshop last week.. this is the first revell kit that impress me.. but it still have lot of mistake and fit problem.. as always...

I have to agree, I have read so much and seen enough that I wouldn't think of buying Revell unless I knew somebody else made it(like the Hasegawa Focus WRC in a Revell box) As an American it really bothers me that our model companies cannot make a better product, I guess they they just don't care or take any pride in their work. None of them can seem to produce a kit that doesn't have fit problems.

Sounds like you're frustrated with their older kits. I personally like them for their price and full engine detail. The newer kits are getting better and at most require sanding of mold lines on the body, and trimming of excess plastic on the engine parts at most.

Yeah revells like that but I think there ITR kit is great.

Is Revell that bad... haven't build any kits made from Revell... is the detail on the car as Crappy as Fujimi or worst?

When I was younger I always found Revell to be crap but Monogram was really good! Kinda odd considering they are kinda the same company.

The new ITR is impressive though, the new Civic Si also looks well done.

[rcmaxx]

you also gotta remenber its a re issue......

si the kit is not up to their current standards.

Revell is no where near the shitness that is Fujimi. I don't see why you all complain about Revell so much, just more sheep to Tamiya. Most of us Revell makers buy them because no other makers make the classics, not most of the shit that is on the streets today. Other reasons are full engine detail, excellent detail in most & the price. I'd rather 2 Revell kits for the price of 1 Tamiya. IMO, this is what its like in Australia for me:

Tamiya=:finger4:
Revell=
Fujimi=:hehehe: :finger: :apuke:

If you think Revell is bad ( I like Revell but to each, their own!) You should try an older AMT kit! You'll bow down at Revell's plastic boots! A lot of Revell's newer kits aren' so bad if you're interested in certain subject matter.

Grr Revell always sucks well these few of my reasons:

Ugly body molding & sometimes too thick
The molding looks stiff not like tamiya or fujimi even...well don't compare with hasegawas they're too thin in the plastic

The scale The scale The scale it's always 1:25 hate them it will look funny next to the tamiya&fujimi's!

[integra818]

Am I the only one who does'nt have anything agianst revell? Personnaly, I like them, they're easy and fun, Tamiya is if you really like that car and don't mind spending time on the detail, it's like that for me at least

PLease don't start with fujimi or hasegawa, I was VERY dissapointed with thier quaility

[Purpura Delujo]

I don't hate Revell, I hate Fujimi though. $65AUSD for a damn Integra of all things, HELL NO! First Fujimi kit I made has been trashed and burnt, second is still there because its a nice real car but it is lacking so much detail its not funny. Third and last is a FC RX7, I only buy a Fujimi if I really really like the car and noone else makes it, but no one told me that Tamiya made a FC RX7 so now I'm pissed off.

i dont hate revell they brought out a teg with a motor (too bad its 1/25) even better an honda SI coupe. i love building revells for their simplicity and quickness it takes to build them yeah they have their perks but which company doesnt. if you dont like them dont buy them

my friend is building the same Beemer and hers is coming out fine so i dont know whats wrong with yours.



HEY LOWRYDA REVELLS HAS A 1/24 ESCALADE DUE OUT THIS YEAR

I was thinking about buying a Revell Monday. By the way all you guys are talking good thing I didnt. I might still try one, you never know, I might like them.
