How many people are employed to Make Model Kits in the USA?

Just thinking out loud.

For Most of us, this is a hobby.

But for a very few people, it is a Business.

Just off the top of my head, I can think of a few Model Companies here in the US.

Revell

Round2

Salvinos JR

Atlantis

Williams Bros (?)

Glencoe (?)

How many people are employed by all these companies?

My guess is that everybody employed by Model Companies would fit in just a few Greyhound Busses. (150-300)

Even If you count Tamiya, and MRC, it is still a small number, I suspect.

What say you guys?

Revell is now a German company; only a few employees on this side of the ocean.  Atlantis and Salvino each probably employ more people here than any of the bigger companies.

Don't forget those involved in the distribution and model shops for sales.
