Finding them in good condition can be a real challenge. We aim to solve that.” And they are finding them. APTOS II’s current inventory reads like a dream list for Revell enthusiasts.

Forget sifting through dusty attic sales and endless online auctions – APTOS II is bringing these treasures directly to you. What Makes These Models Special? It's not just about age. Many of these rare Revell models hold significant historical and cultural value. Early kits, especially those from the 1950s and 60s, showcase design aesthetics and engineering approaches that are vastly different from today’s models. They offer a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era. “These aren’t just toys; they’re pieces of history,” says the APTOS II representative. “Think about a 1960s Ford Thunderbird kit. It’s not just a model car; it represents a specific moment in American automotive design and culture.” The kits themselves also boast unique features. Early Revell models often featured intricate detailing, realistic paint schemes, and innovative construction techniques for their time. The packaging is also collectible in its own right – many vintage boxes feature stunning artwork and evocative illustrations. What’s Currently Available?
