Rare Revell Models Find a New Home with APTOS II LLC, Bringing Nostalgia to Collectors

SPOKANE, WA – November 8, 2023 – For model enthusiasts and collectors, finding those truly special, hard-to-find kits can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. APTOS II LLC, a Spokane-based company dedicated to sourcing and delivering unique collectibles, is stepping in to change that, specifically focusing on rare and vintage Revell models. APTOS II LLC, located at 2614 N Monroe St, Spokane, WA, 99205-3353, and reachable at 214-946-1880, isn’t just a reseller. They're a team of passionate collectors themselves, understanding the thrill of the hunt and the deep connection people have with these miniature pieces of history. “We started APTOS II because we were frustrated by how difficult it was to find these rare Revell kits ourselves,” explains a company representative. “We realized there were likely a lot of other folks feeling the same way, and we wanted to create a reliable source for them.” What Makes These Revell Models Special? Revell, a name synonymous with plastic modeling since the 1940s, has a long and storied history. While current Revell kits are readily available, it’s the older, out-of-production models that truly capture the imagination of many collectors. APTOS II LLC specializes in securing these vintage treasures. What sets these older Revell models apart? A lot. Historical Significance: Many of these kits represent vehicles, aircraft, and ships from pivotal moments in history. They aren't just plastic; they're tangible connections to the past. Think classic cars from the 50s and 60s, iconic planes from WWII, or even the early days of space exploration. Rarity and Collectibility: As production runs ended and time marched on, certain Revell kits became increasingly rare. Limited edition releases, promotional models, and kits from short-lived tooling runs are particularly sought after. Finding these in good condition, with original parts and decals, is a real coup for any collector. Detailed Craftsmanship: Older Revell kits, while not always possessing the same level of detail as modern kits (which benefit from decades of advancements in tooling and molding techniques), often feature a unique charm and character. The molding can be different, the decals have a vintage look, and the building experience is often a more hands-on, rewarding challenge. Nostalgia: For many, these models aren't just about building a replica; they're about reliving childhood memories. Building a Revell kit was a rite of passage for many, and finding a kit from their youth can bring back a flood of happy memories. What Kind of Rare Revell Models Does APTOS II LLC Offer? APTOS II LLC isn't focusing on just any old Revell kit. They are actively seeking out and offering a curated selection of truly exceptional pieces. Here’s a glimpse of what collectors can expect: Vintage Car Kits: Kits of classic American muscle cars (think Ford Thunderbirds, Chevrolet Corvettes, and Dodge Chargers) are consistently popular. But they aren't stopping there – they also source kits of European sports cars, classic trucks, and even quirky vintage microcars. Expect kits from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, often in remarkably well-preserved condition. WWII Aircraft: For aviation enthusiasts, APTOS II LLC offers a selection of WWII aircraft kits, including P-51 Mustangs, Spitfires, Messerschmitts, and Japanese Zeroes. These kits often feature detailed markings and authentic camouflage schemes. Space Exploration Kits: The early days of space exploration captured the world’s imagination, and Revell was right there with a line of kits depicting rockets, spacecraft, and even lunar modules. APTOS II LLC is scouring the market for these rare gems. Monsters and Sci-Fi: Revell also produced a line of kits based on classic monsters and sci-fi themes. Think Frankenstein’s monster, Dracula, and even iconic spaceships from classic movies and TV shows. These kits are highly collectible and often command a premium price. Unbuilt, Original Condition: A key focus for APTOS II LLC is sourcing kits that are still in their original, unbuilt condition. These kits are highly prized by collectors who want to preserve a piece of history. They also offer kits that have been partially built, but are in good condition and can be restored.
