We are probably the largest manufacturer of small model kits in the UK. We manufacture all of the West Wings kits in our factory in West Cornwall. In addition to this, although we are a totally independent company, we manufacture several ranges of kits for other distributors.Our designs draw on the extensive experience our staff have gained from ‘hands-on’ modelling over many years. Combine this with full CAD drawings and our CNC cutting machines and you can readily appreciate how accurate our kits are. This ‘integrated’ process allows us to swiftly implement any improvements we want very quickly.
We welcome customer suggestions to improve our kits and can act on them within a short timescale. We try to ensure that the best possible quality goes into all our boxes. We design, print, CNC and die cut balsa/lite-ply and make our own vac-formings in house. The boxes, labels, plans and decals are all produced specifically for us in the West Country, within a few miles of our factory. In fact, the only items in our kits that are not made in the UK are propellers from Japan and flight quality rubber specially imported from the USA. Unfortunately balsa wood, being a tropical tree, does not grow in Europe; therefore we have to source it from managed and sustained forests in Ecuador and Papua New Guinea.
Because we manufacture the kits ourselves we are able to replace any parts that are lost or broken, so, if you have lost a plan or instructions, if the dog/cat has eaten your balsa, a canopy is trodden on, or if you experience any other problem with one of our kits, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will do our very best to offer help or advice whenever possible.
If you are unable to obtain any of our kits from your model shop, or if you require any further information about any of our models, please contact us.
