Revell Miniature Masterpieces Covered
Wagon Set 1/48 K505-98 Built Up w Box
Listing is for a Revell Miniature Masterpieces Covered Wagon Set. Scarce
early Revell kit from 1955. Very well molded and detailed kit contains
everything you need for the western diorama on the box top - covered
wagon, 2 longhorn oxen, horse, and pioneer family.
'Miniature Masterpieces' was formed through an alliance of Lou Glasser
(Revell) and Steve Adams (Adams Action Models) in 1953. Although the molds
were made at Adams and it had the appearance of an independent company,
the firm was run by Revell down to the prototypes being made at the Revell
plant. Originally there was no evidence of the parent company on the
surface. The State Coach of England was the first kit, issued in 1953.
More kits of excellent quality followed. Revell completely took over the
line in 1954 and in that year and the next, kits were labeled 'Revell'
with a 'Miniature Masterpiece' label on the box top also.
