Large Scale Model Car Upgrades
1/8 & 1/12 Scale Specialists

Site News

It's been a while since we've made an update here but here is a big one!

 

We've now set up a separate web-forum specifically for large scale model car / vehicle builders.

This has been done as the store hosting provider is discontinuing the forum facility here, and also the need to have a more traditional type forum for our customers and visitors to engage with each other.

We are very excited about this so please head over and have a look.

 

The web-store is unaffected by this change and you will still be able to purchase all our products here as you normally would.

Plenty of other things going on with a lot more 1/8 Jaguar XKE E-Type parts in the pipeline, and now we are seeing some of our customers mid way through builds using our parts which is fantastic.

We have also added a bit more to our Youtube channel. We definitely are not pro movie makers, but have put up a few videos of our products and in some cases, the assembly sequences in video format to help with building.​ Check it out.

Finally, We would like to give a huge thank you to all our customers for your support and encouragement. Thank you also to those who have contributed to the forum as this is creating a great community of like-minded people the world over. 

We are very excited to see the forum grow, and welcome anyone with an interest in large scale model car building.

Established in 2008, we design and produce a wide range of upgrade kits and accessories for 1/8 and 1/12 scale model vehicles from manufacturers such as Pocher, Revell, Airfix, Italeri and more, as well as general parts that can be used across all scales and models. Some of our parts have even found their way onto a number of large scale RC vehicles.

Our range is always expanding, and all model-specific parts are designed and test fitted against the actual kit ensuring a perfect fit. Parts range from a quick upgrade, all the way to highly detailed kits for advanced builders.

​​

We use tried and proven methods of production, as well as emerging technologies to bring unique and interesting parts to you that are not only cost-effective, but will add that extra level of detail and realism to your build.

We hope these will prove useful to you, our customers, and welcome all contributors to the forum. Not only those of you building kits with our parts, but any builds that may help others in the same process, or to show off your handiwork as we all know these kits can be quite a challenge to build out of the box, not to mention trying out any modifications.

We hope these new sections add benefit to you and continue to grow as the site does.

Thanks!
