Revell
The corporate history of Revell is the history of a great passion that took hold of America in the 1940s. Founded in 1943 in the US State of California, Revell Inc. started up production in Venice, not far from Los Angeles. Plastic toys, accessories and furniture for doll’s houses and toy washing machines were the top sellers at this time. It was 1947 that the company’s founder, Lewis H. Glaser, hit on the idea of assembling a scale model car from several plastic parts. That was the birth of plastic model kits. As early as 1956, the enthusiasm for the new hobby crossed the Atlantic and revolutionised the leisure time activities of countless modellers and collectors.
