Commercial Sites

I was pondering how few British kit manufacturers are left in the face of the growth of ARTF models so I started to compile a list. It wasn't as short as I had thought.

Anglia Model Centre Bowman and Complete-a-Pac kits for scale models
Apache Aviation Large scale Chipmunk kits and the new PT-19
ATI Manufacturing The Aerotech range of warbirds and more
Aviation Technics Makers of the Laser 200 kits and the Raven
The Balsa Cabin A small range of sports kits, including a pattern model and an Ultimate biplane
Cambrian Models Famous for the Fun Fighter range, but also offering a direct range, including late mark Spitfire
Chris Foss Who hasn't heard of these? Wot 4, Acrowot and the new Extrawot
Concept Models Supply the Delta 20 and Swift 400 models
Cuban Air Manufacturers of the Cuban series of pattern models
Dave Smith Models Another pattern model manufacturer, the Aerostar is a popular model in our club
D.B. Sport & Scale A range of scale aircraft kits, including Tiger Moths and a Corben Baby Ace
Flair Products Probably the largest UK manufacturer of sports and semi-scale kits. Multiplex distributor for the UK too.
FMK Models A range of kits for smaller engines
Galaxy Models Have their own range of sports and semi-scale kits, including a Mustang, Comet Racer and electric sports.
Howard Metcalfe Models Sports and scale model kits for both wet power and electric
JB Aviation High quality sports and scale kits, including the SuperSport and the DH71 Tiger Moth
ModelCraft Coventry based model shop manufacturing kits for pylon racing aircraft. Nice people
Pegasus Models Have their own range of sports and scale kits plus a lot of kits imported from the USA
Pete Tindal's Airplanes A range of funfly designs, Profilm and the large scale Sukhoi. What a nice man too!
Ratby Aeroplanes The Jabberwock range and more
Warbirds A series of 40 sized sport scale WW2 fighters

The following links are non-kit manufacturers, but are listed because they have been great to deal with.

Als Hobbies I have used their mail order service, and bought from them at shows. Great prices
RadioActive I really like their engine mounts!
