It's probably settled:

Step one; stir it with a cocktail stick / toothpick. If it has gunk in the bottom stir till the gunk is broken up a bit.
Step two; shake it till your arm hurts, then shake it some more.

Revell paints tend to be very bad in my experience, but 'Flow all over your model' sounds like a brush control issue. Have less paint on your brush, and you'll find it won't flood so much, or at all.

Acrylics can be thickened with artists mediums. Liquitex do one called 'ultra matt' that is supposed to maintain opacity, and others for promoting transparency with matt and gloss finishes.

It does sound like you are using too much paint, or that it needs a stir though. I've never used revell paints so can't really give specific advice however.

'Ain't nothing crazy about me but my brain. Right brain? Riight! No not you right brain! Right left brain? Right!... Okay then lets do this!!
