| Hi Geedub,
First off, where I live there are only 3 model shops, 1 specialises in die-cast 1 specialises in R/C but they do some mainstream kits, Tamiya etc.. and the 3rd only does die-cast and 1/25th scale American kits. None of them do any after market parts, and there's not a lot available on-line in the UK that does either. There are a couple of on-line shops that do bits & pieces, but it's very sketchy.
I'm not really doing car kits as such, it's more the accessories such as wheels, etched parts, carbon-fibre decals, that sort of thing. It's a market that is not really catered for in the UK.
I'll be importing directly from people like Aoshima, Scale Motorsport and M.R. Model. I don't know if any of you are familiar with their products or not?
RJ,
It will be solely for 1/24th Scale static kit form models.
Although I touched on it slightly in my original post, I didn't really make it clear that these parts that I will be selling are solely for 1/24th Scale, although things like wheels & decals can be used on 1/25th as well.
It really is going to be a 'Specialist shop' which I do realise has a small market. |
