Revell GmbH is an American-origin manufacturer of plastic scale models, currently based in Bünde, Germany. The original Revell company merged with Monogram in 1986, becoming "Revell-Monogram". The business operated until 2007, when American Revell was purchased by Hobbico, while the German subsidiary "Revell Plastics GmbH" (established in 1956) had separated from the American firm in 2006 until Hobbico purchased it in 2012, bringing the two back together again under the same company umbrella.[1] After the Hobbico demise in 2018, Quantum Capital Partners (QCP) acquired Revell.[2]

Some of the scale products manufactured and commercialised by Revell are cars, aircraft, ships, and commercial vehicles.
