Has anyone heard anything about Revell being purchased by an outfit called Race Car Models? I knew Hobbico had filed for Chapter 11 and that it (Revell) was kind of in limbo. Anybody on here got "the lowdown"?

Dave, just called the guy that texted me with that info and he said " I THINK it was Revell but may have been another model company" . So I apologize if that is wrong but it made sense when I saw it because when I read a couple of weeks ago that Hobbico had filed for bankruptcy, the article stated that the future of Revell was "uncertain". If you hear the straight of it, let us know.
Thanks,
John

Revell may not be in play until the final bankruptcy filling and selling Revell is part of it.
Maybe he was thinking of the new model company....they say all kits will be racers.

Is there any chance this might be the new model company?

No, that's a small operation.
