Revell was established in 1943 by Lewis H. Glaser in Venice, California. It began as a manufacturer of plastic kitchen items, but by the 195s ventured into the world of hobby kits. Revell excelled in creating accurate scale model kits which were a hit amongst hobbyists. An interesting fact is that Revell's early model kits of then-contemporary cars sometimes included scale models of typical service station/garage accessories, thus giving birth to the phrase, "Revell Complete", meaning the added extras made a "complete miniature world". This era also marked the brand's iconic 'History Makers' line of historically significant ships and aircraft. Today, Revell models are still prized by collectors worldwide.
