A scale model is most generally a physical representation of an object that maintains accurate relationships between all important aspects of the model, although absolute values of the original properties need not be preserved. This enables it to demonstrate some behavior or property of the original object without examining the original object itself. The most familiar scale models represent the physical appearance of an object in miniature, but there are many other kinds.
Scale models are used in many fields including engineering, architecture, film making, military command, salesmanship, and hobby model building. While each field may use a scale model for a different purpose, all scale models are based on the same principles and must meet the same general requirements to be functional. The detail requirements vary depending on the needs of the modeler.
To be a true scale model, all relevant aspects must be accurately modeled, such as material properties, so the model's interaction with the outside world is reliably related to the original object's interaction with the real world.
Revell is a manufacturer of plastic scale models. The original American Revell merged with Monogram. In 2007, American Revell was purchased by Hobbico while the European Revell Germany separated from the American company in 2006 until Hobbico purchased it as well - bringing the two back together again under the same company umbrella. In 2017, Quantum Capital Partners took over operations of Revell after Hobbico declared bankruptcy.
Aluminum Model Toys, commonly abbreviated as AMT, was a Troy, Michigan-based company that manufactured various pre-assembled plastic promotional models starting in 1948, when attorney West Gallogly, Sr. started it as a side business. Later, a variety of kits became very popular. Most of the company's vehicle products were American cars and trucks in 1:25 scale. In the 1970s, hot rods, customs, trucks and movie and TV vehicles were also produced.
Because Gallogly had solid connections with Ford Motor Company, he was able to place his first models exclusively in Ford dealerships, starting a long promotional relationship (Cawthon 2002). Gallogly's first model was a 1947-1948 Ford Fordor sedan made of cast aluminum and painted with official Ford paint (Cawthon 2002). After issuing successful Ford sedan models, the company set up shop on Eight Mile Road outside Detroit (Chrysler 2008).

I didn't see this in the video, but the one kit more than any other I'd love to see reissued is the 1966 Imperial kit. My father and I have been rebuilding our "full scale" 66 Imperial which was handed down from his father, and I've been looking to purchase a kit of one. Unfortunately they are incredibly rare, but I think it would be incredible to be able to have a model kit to show with the real life car. That being said, incredible video, thank you for the opportunity to ride along with you for the tour. That's an amazing facility.

Seeing all of them molds reminds me when I worked at a Injection molding plant ( for 39.5 yrs ). We had 32 machines, some times my boss will tell me to put a big mold In a small press that should have gone in a big press. Well I don't have to tell you parts would flash, because there was not a lot of Tonage. I tryed to tell him but he would not care. Tools that should have been fixed because of bad venting would cause burn marks on parts. So to stop the burning I would put a couple of pcs of scotch tape on the sides of the vents to stop it from burning; well , I'LL stop for now! Just wanted to let you know What I had to do. Joe B.

Some of it is now done back in the USA I think. They probably made it better compared to back then when AMT/MPC & others were in business decades ago.

Would like to see a 1967 68 GMC or Chevy. Pickup I've been looking for one for a long time.

I’d love to see Round2 release some of the old AMC kits. The Matador, Gremlin, Javelin and Hornet. It would also be great if they could make new tooling kits for the AMC Hurst SC Rambler and Rebel The Machine.

This was an unexpected bonus! Awesome tour. Cool people, cool products... So much history! Yeah, if I worked for the company they'd have to put me on as a driver because I'd never get out of the warehouse... lol... One of the kits I'd love to see in production is the 1959 and 1960 Chevy Impala..... there's just about every year out there except those... these are a must have, multiple copy buy...

Great video. I wish they would come out with a 1/25th scale 80s or 90s GMC school bus.

With looking at those old kits in the archive room, there's plenty I'd love to see reissued, I mean it's kits that are commanding big prices, I'd even like to see kits that haven't been released since forever, I'm starting to get back to building kits, & what you can kitbash is unbelievable, I can't wait to see the Malibu & Charger kit

Round 2 has the very coolest kits around. 😎 I have purchased their AMT Star Trek kits and the plastic is much more and has pretty nice moldings then the other one.

I hope they have done digital scans of all those old blueprints. It would be a tragedy if there was a fire or any other disaster in that bulding. So much history and irreplaceble stuff.

I seen a lot of kits I built when I was a kid. A very cool Model A Roadster kit that I would love to build, so cool. I'd love to be in your shoes for this tour, would be such a fun day.

Something I haven't sen for a long time would be a great reissue is the Chevy window van as the "Open Road Camper". Reissuing older dodge window vans would be a welcome site!

Id really like the old Peterbuilt Rex Chainbelt cement mixer - circa late 1960’s. Definitely a niche item, I had one given to me from my Dad who was an engineer at Rex. Great episode.
