6- The champion of creativity : Revell |
||
|
Very early Revell showed a great creativity in displaying its aircraft models. It is indeed the only kit manufacturer to have actually sold separately display accessories : the Revell-O-Rama was a background picture similar in concept to what is commonly used for trains . The « Starburst » illustrated below is a curiously stick and ball arrangement which could hold many models In 2001 Revell has again proved its originality in applying magnetic levitation to aircraft models. |

|
Revell once issued this mobile which came with WW1 aircraft . Monogram had the same idea but with ...missiles |
||
|
The Starburst was sold without any model but included a dozen of long sticks which could be linked through the central ball . A retro-sixties effect guaranted with this one .. |
||
|
The magnetic levitation was presented (here the full page of the French Revell Catalogue) in 2001 and introduced first with 1/144 jets then with WW1 and WW2 fighters |
