The site is simple and easy to use. I ordered a Lockheed AC-130H Spectre for my son but I couldn't find the list of paint cans to buy. On the site there are a lot of suggestions, but I don't know if it's for models in general or for this one in particular... D

The goods were complete and in excellent condition, but unfortunately the delivery by the parcel carrier was catastrophic. We only received our parcel after repeated requests and many phone calls... :-(

the order was processed quickly - the parcel was tracked and delivered on time - on receipt the parcel was damaged, but I scoured it anyway - on opening it turned out that one of the model's fins was broken, and I had to glue it back in place. The forwarder (colissimo) didn't take much care of the parcel, but the model's packaging was too light for this type of model (the model touches the cardboard directly, without any protection, especially on the front - this is unacceptable!) I'm quite surprised by the packaging, and you could have taken more precautions. So I have mixed feelings about this purchase. I had another purchase in mind for the same kind of model, but I'm reluctant to buy on the internet, as I'm a very good buyer.

model paints Of the 6 paints that I ordered one was wrong. Delivery took long time but it may have been fault of USPS. Send email with complaint (there is no phone number available). Took 3 days to respond but got credit without any questions. Had to pay some extra for shipping but only pennies. Delivery of replacement was fast and color was the correct one.

I preferred it when there were pages in the figurines category at the 172nd and for the other sizes too we knew which page to go back to when we had added a box of figurines to the basket whereas now we have to click again on the category and the desired size the time to receive a parcel is perhaps a little long there are also figurines that are not in stock and that we would like to be able to buy otherwise it remains a very long delay.

I ordered two trumpeter showcases that were supposed to be in stock, and after several weeks I received one showcase. No big deal, I was given a credit note for the second display case (which was not available). I ordered it as soon as it was available, the price wasn't the same and I had to pay postage a second time. I would have liked the postage not to have been charged to me, as I was not responsible for the non-delivery when I placed the order.

I ordered a car but when I received the package I was disappointed because I thought I had paint, glue and several other small things to make the car properly but nothing was in the package apart from the car. This is a very nice car but lacks my

Not impressed! Wrong size, wrong materials and unwrapped and they took almost 2 weeks to arrive. Category : Diecast models Fiat 500 Blue +500C Pink x 2 1:43 I ordered the advertised diecast models which were supposed to be a Fiat 500 in Blue and a 500C in Pink in 1:43 scale. What I received was 2 number Fiat 500's in Blue and 2 number 500C's in Pink in 1:87 scale in plastic. I also paid an extra £1.70 for gift wrapping, which was a paper bag! The quality of the products are excellent but they are not what I wanted or ordered! Wrong size, wrong materials and unwrapped, also they took almost 2 weeks to arrive. Additionally, when I checked my order on the website after they arrived, it had changed to what they delivered but the scale is still listed as 1:43. In summary they state that this product is no longer available - Which product is no longer available, the 1:43 Scale Die Cast Models or 1:87 Plastic Models? Luckily, my daughter, for which they were a Christmas present is happy with them.

I placed my order on December 17th for a product""supposedly"" in stock and which I paid for on the spot. Despite being processed the next day it was not shipped until a week later. Then the shipment has taken 10 more working days to arrive (15 calendar days). Not to compare but a fellow hobbyist placed an order on another site on December 30 and on January 5 he had it at home and was able to deliver his gifts on time. If the transport company they work with does not work, maybe they should be able to deliver the gifts on time.

Too bad I can't contact them by phone! I didn't receive an e-mail to let me know when the parcel had arrived. The relationship aspect needs to be improved. Otherwise, I got my parcel on time and I'm satisfied with the service.

The products offered are really many for all needs and of quality. In terms of assistance and information, the service is also of quality. The time elapsed between order and goods arrival considering that the payment is in advance goes a bit long. One criticism for the handling of missing products: the transformation of the value into a discount for a subsequent purchase does not seem correct to me especially in case incomplete orders are repeated.

Unsatisfactory response to damaged goods report. I ordered a Great Planes Giant Big Stik model aircraft which arrived with some damage to the rear of the fuselage. I reported the damage with photographs of both model and packaging and asked 1001model kits for their comments. Having paid over £300 for the model which was to be a special Christmas present (which I had noted on my order) I imagined they would at least have offered to reduce the price as I had received damaged goods. Their reply follows: Dear Sir, I am deeply sorry for the damage. Unfortunately we are located in France and have no solution for repairs in the UK. I suggest that you repair it yourself, this should not be too complicated. Best regards, -- Customer service UK buyers beware.
