Hi, Everyone! Back during the end of August 2018, Atlantis Models announced that they purchased the tooling for many plastic model kits from the new owners of Revell.  These molds were from the tooling banks of Monogram, Revell, Aurora, and Renwal, some dating back to the early 1950s.  They were stored in Revell's Elk Grove facility in Illinois and represent automotive, aircraft, ships, military, figures, space, and many other subjects.  The deal was worked out shortly after the Hobbico bankruptcy was settled out. One of Atlantis' upcoming releases from their deal is the Convair Space Shuttlecraft kit (kit number AMCH1828)!  Based on a concept re-usable space shuttle design by aerospace engineer Krafft Ehricke, this model was originally put out by Revell in 1958. 1:156 scale About 10 inches (25.4 cm) tall when built Removable power unit Removable 1st and 2nd stages Includes base, launch pad, three ground crew figures, and five astronaut figures May / June 2019...
