OREL is a brand of paper model kits and accessories, most of its range being built around historical ships. The catalogue is dominated by paper kits, which account for most of the materials used, with wood, photo-etch and textile sails making up the rest. Scales run from 1/200 to 1/25, with 1/200 and 1/100 being the most common, which suits fleet models and small-scale waterline work.
The OREL range covers several clear product lines: complete paper model kits of ships, laser-cut parts for hull and superstructure detail, photo-etched fittings, deck sets and sail sets. Typical subjects include the Wasa, Fram, Le Redoutable, Solferino, San Felipe, USS Mississippi, HMS Leopard, Peresvet, Petropavlovsk, Essex, Brandenburg and Mary Rose, alongside individual vessels such as the armored cruiser Brooklyn and the gunboat Vesuvius. There are also aircraft, buildings, cars and trucks in the range.
Many OREL items are accessories, so a modeller can build a complete kit from paper and then upgrade it with laser-cut or photo-etched parts. The brand suits builders who work with paper and want a historically detailed fleet or a single ship. Browse the range below to find the scale and subject you need.
