Revell Kits Not Shipped to Europe ?

If your country is not on the list, why worry? It's probably political.

What, Me Worry? As I said I was curious. Do not recall seeing this before on this site, and have not seen it at Squadron, GreatModels... So who did Luxembourg piss off?

Presumably, a particular company, probably Revell Germany, has an exclusive distribution contract for Revell USA products in Europe. Some dealers worry about lawsuits, some don't, and I assume that Tower Hobbies is just playing it safe. Gerald Owens

IIRC, Tower Hobbies is the owner of or co-owned by the group that owns Revell-Monogram now. I'm betting it's a distributorship thing between Revell USA and Revell AG.
