Revell-Monogram is a company based in
Northbrook, Illinois dedicated to produce
plastic and die-cast models of
cars,
aircraft, military vehicles and
ships. They currently also own the
Monogram model company, leading to the humorous
nickname "Revellogram". Their traditional position in the automotive model kit market (for both Revell and Monogram) is that their product is of higher quality than their major competitor,
AMT, but does not come with the wide variety of customizable parts and options that AMT provides. They also do not produce models of as many different subjects as AMT.
