Kit extras (patch?)

[Jon Haigwood]

I was recieved this yesterday and I am trying to figure out where it first appeared. I am thinking it may have been an extra included in a Revell/Roth kit.

Any information on it and what other extra were included with kits ?

I think the patches were offered as a mail away deal, rather than included inside each kit. This Revell '57 Chevy Bel Air Hardtop's box lid mentions the included coupon used to get the patch:

Maybe mail order, but a more recent deal.  The kits pictured are from 1970-71; Ed Roth was out of the picture at Revell after about 1966.

I found the same patch minus the "Revell" logo on the Roth website, It is a iron-on patch but I am not sure when they started doing iron-ons.

That is cool....anyone remember the plastic badges the MPCs use to come with..?

The "belt badges" were 1973 only.  Some of the drag car kits issued in '73 had them too.  MPC's replacement for the "spoof" parts from '71-'72, another misfire on their part.  We didn't need no stinking badges!

Think that patch came in a reissue Rat Fink kit from early 2000s. Can't remember if it appeared in more than one reissue Roth kit, but it's possible.

That may be right. The only kit my brother had that was a Roth was a Rat Fink I didn't see his box but none on line had anything about a patch included
