APRIMO US LLC Brings Nostalgia Back to Life with Revell Model Kits – A Timeless Hobby for All Ages
Chicago, IL – November 8, 2023 – APRIMO US LLC, a dynamic import and distribution company based in the heart of Chicago, is excited to be bringing the classic joy of building Revell model kits back to enthusiasts across the United States. Located at 230 West Monroe, Suite 1200, APRIMO is dedicated to sourcing high-quality, engaging products that spark creativity and bring people together. And right now, they’re focusing on a true American pastime: building Revell models. You probably remember them from your childhood. The smell of plastic, the tiny pieces, the satisfaction of seeing something cool take shape with your own two hands. Revell model kits aren’t just toys; they’re a journey. APRIMO US LLC understands that, and they're working hard to make these iconic kits easily available again. “We noticed a real resurgence of interest in hands-on hobbies, and especially in model building,” says a representative from APRIMO US LLC. “People are looking for ways to unplug, de-stress, and reconnect with a sense of accomplishment. Revell kits offer all of that, plus a healthy dose of nostalgia.” What's the Deal with Revell? For generations, Revell has been a leader in the model kit industry. They offer an amazing range of kits – seriously, something for everyone. We're talking cars (classic muscle cars, sleek sports cars, even monster trucks!), airplanes (from WWII fighters to modern jets!), ships (historic sailing vessels to modern warships!), and even science fiction and fantasy – think spaceships, robots, and characters from your favorite movies and TV shows. But it's not just about what you build, it’s how. Revell kits aren't just about snapping pieces together (though some of their newer kits do offer that option!). The traditional kits require a bit of work. You get a collection of plastic parts, decals, and instructions, and it's up to you to carefully assemble, glue, and paint everything to create a stunning replica. “It's not always easy,” admits the APRIMO representative with a laugh. “There’s definitely a learning curve, especially for beginners. But that’s part of the fun! It’s incredibly rewarding to overcome those challenges and see the finished product.” Why Are People Getting Back Into Model Building? There's a bunch of reasons why model building is having a comeback. It's a great stress reliever. Focusing on a detailed, hands-on task can be super calming and help you forget about the pressures of daily life. It sparks creativity. You can customize your models with different paint schemes, weathering effects, and aftermarket parts. It’s a fun way to learn. Building models can teach you about history, engineering, and design. (Did you know a lot of aircraft engineers started building models as kids?) It's a shared hobby. Model building is a great activity to do with family and friends. There’s a whole community of model builders out there who love to share tips, tricks, and finished projects. It’s a break from screens. In a world dominated by digital devices, building a model kit offers a chance to disconnect and engage with something tangible. What Does APRIMO US LLC Offer?
