Friends & Useful Links

The world of motorsport modeling is huge and is enjoyed in countless countries. The age of the internet has significantly helped modelers to get in touch with others who enjoy the hobby and to trade pictures and reference material etc. Recently there has been a huge increase in the number of websites offering kits, materials and upgrades, especially from shops located in the Asia and the US. This has enabled modelers to purchase items that they normally would not have been able to get hold of or even heard of.

I have made many good friends and contacts both in the UK and more often abroad which have helped me overcome various problems during projects, these are just a few links to websites where people will bend over backwards to help you.
