We started Black Lion Decals, simply because we needed some decals, and if you ever bought and built one of those beautiful but expensive resin models and wondered wherever they had put the decal sheet, then you know exactly what we're all about.
Our aim is to bring decals for those models that lack them.
Our favourites are the rare, weird and exotic ones.
And here's the best thing: no matter the subject, no matter the scale;
if you want that unique one-off decal for your model only, then we'll design and print it for you!
S & M Models produce 3 sets of decals for a Silver City Airways subject was the original mission in 1999. Since its humble beginnings S&M Models has grown considerably to produce products that celebrate forgotten or ignored British aircraft, airlines and airliners. The first model, a Vickers Viscount proved a steep learning curve and an alternative production method with lower volumes was clearly needed. The method of resin casting was identified allowing for the production of more esoteric subjects that would never be considered by mainstream manufacturers.
It has now been possible to augment our range by issuing other manufacturers tooling with our own markings and box art. Diversity has also been brought about by importing various ranges that have not been available for many years in the UK and Europe including Williams Brothers from the USA as well as Old Models from New Zealand. And not forgetting our roots, we offer a large range of markings for diverse subjects from the Golden Age of British Aviation. We will continue to offer subjects outside of the mainstream and work with our suppliers to bring new and innovative kits and decals to the market.
With over 40 years of plastic modelling and aviation experience the company is well positioned to inform, advise and assist. If you have a question, suggestion or would like to provide feedback just give us a call or email.
