Nice! (and in great condition). Yes, Atlantis really fills in the void with their re-releases. If they could find the old Aurora naval kits (like the ones acquired by Monogram), I'd probably pass out from joy.
I have either a 1970 or 1972 Revell catalog, and you'll see where I circled some kits. I started building in the mid 1960's and don't ever recall seeing Revell cement or paints. Glue was strictly Testors and paints available were Testors and Pactra.
Seems like all the early kit makers had their own line of paints and cement. I wonder if they were all rebranded Testors since the bottles and tubes all looked the same.
The Air Power gift set didn't include the B-58. Had the F-100, F-101, F-102, B-57 & B-57. All their gift sets are very pricey these days. Thanks for the videos.
The Sherman was 1/32 or 1/35 depending on you read. All the other Revell Armor/ military range in the series at the time were 1/40. Why they decided to up the size isn't well known. Probably because they thought thought bigger is better. All their kits in this time frame were nice kits. Plus the figures were very well molded.

Great video. I've been building for 60+ years and it was fun to see the old Revell catalog ! Best part was the prices ! Good old days for sure !
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the old catalogs . I still dream of owning some of those kits .Thank you for the video !!
@@scottledbetter7212 Fortunately most of the aircraft are still recently available in one way or another.
Great video and historical.
@@paulbervid1610 Glad you like it!
great fun to see this
@@thedodge1942 Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Very cool! I still have several model kit catalogs from the late 70s. Wish I still had my Revell “Get It Together” quarterly booklets.
@@JMdfcv I will have to keep an eye oit for those.

@@farkinarkin5099 You can also buy the decals directly from Atlantis if your originals are shot.
Wow, this was a joy to see!! 👏👏👏👏
@@MrDastardly Glad you enjoyed it. More catalogs will be featured soon.

Amazing content buddy! Don’t stop what you are doing, from me all the way from Ireland. 👍

I built the Nautilus, PT-boat and The Sulllivans in the late 1960's.
@@tombrunila2695 Fantastic! Did you enjoy building them?

@@stuarthanna2417 I keep calling the B-57 a B-58. I know better but it keeps coming out of my mouth. Thanks for keeping me honest!

@@stuarthanna2417 Thanks for clarifying it. I couldn’t remember if it was bigger or smaller than what people think it is.
Revell for Ships Monogram for everything else.
Thanks for watching!
Wow! I would love to look thru old catalogs like that. Where did you find that?
