Revell from 1943 in Venice, Los Angeles. After 40 years as the number one producer of plastic models, Revell was bought by Odyssey Partners of New York and merged with Monogram Models of Morton Grove, Illinois. More

The Venice plant was closed and all serviceable parts were transferred to Monogram's No. 2 plant in Des Plaines. The headquarters of the new company moved to Northbrook (Illinois) in the United States.

In 1956, the German sister company Revell Plastics GmbH was founded in Bünde, West Germany. During the 1970s, this company started developing and producing its own line of scale models, independent of the board in the US. These models were then imported to the US, and some of them gained a good reputation for their high quality. However, the "German" kits are only produced in Eastern Europe and China under the German label. The company would later become known as Revell AG, and has now become a limited liability company, independent since the formal separation from Revell-Monogram LLC in September 2006. In terms of turnover, the German company even outranks its US sister company.
