Revell QAC

Quality control out of control

[Paul Payne]

I would send that photo to Revell and request a replacement for every tree like that. It's awful!

What kit is that from? That is flash like I've never seen before.

[johnfin]

Its from a 70's kit of a porsche 914

Enough flash to make another kit !

A kit that was manufactured during the Seventies?  Revell QC was at a low point towards the end of its original ownership then, and the company that bought the company afterwards didn't improve things.

Captain, I think we've sprung a leak.

[Zippi]

That looks awful.  They lost money on all the extra plastic.

Well, better over shot than under shot! Parts should be fine but, you got a little trimming to do there!

Reminds me of my Flower Power Revell Beetle, another of the '70s fiascoes.

Exactly. 

That is a bit excessive but the parts are fine. I wouldn't have even thought twice about a tree like that. 

Trimming flash and mold seams has been a part of building plastic models since day one.

Looks like the 2 mold halves didn't shut all the way before the injection process.... It happens...?

I was going to say, I have one out in my car that was a recent reissue and I don’t think it was that bad!
