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.

Techmod Decals started in 1989, when the first decals left Techmod's walls. It was accompanied by uncertainty and cautious optimism - the machine started, the dream of own business became a fact. Months of preparations, selection of materials, testing of various solutions - all the work was to lead to the first edition, which was to be assessed by a wide audience. Did you like the decals? We suppose so :) Techmod recently celebrated its thirtieth anniversary.
You could say that everything has changed over the years, and yet some things remain the same. We design and manufacture decals with the same passion, trying to meet the expectations of our customers. We use the highest quality materials and cooperate with reliable suppliers. We attach great importance to the quality control of our products - we care about the satisfaction of users who will be happy to reach for our decals, realizing their hobby of modeling. At the same time, we constantly conduct tests, test industry novelties, and improve the production process.
Our goal is to deliver a product for which our recipients will come back. One that enthusiasts and less experienced ones who start their adventure with modeling can cope with. We are present at every stage of production - we design, print, test, deliver, we are open to contact with recipients. We are interested in modeling ourselves and we are happy to share our knowledge about, for example, how to apply decals.
We started with decals - this is our core business. However, we want more. We are working on our own plastic models. We look to the future with determination and enthusiasm.

Welsh Models are a Aircraft Kit model business based in 'South' Wales, United Kingdom. We are proud of our Welsh heritage and the Welsh Dragon proudly adorns our kits and web site alike.
The business was started in 1979 by the owner Densil Wade. The initial few 1:144th scale kits were somewhat basic by today's standards, but the company became known for its accuracy of scale and shape, two all important factors expressed as necessary by modellers themselves.
The company has evolved into a business which has now established itself into the 1:72nd scale market, and has a total of over two hundred kits in both scales together with conversion kits available for sale. There are various items for the range available for sale individually in the form of Pressure moulded Resin parts, metal parts and some decals from previous kits along with current window decals available.
Whilst the range was initially made of kits with Vacuumed Formed parts, this has diversified into Vac Formed fuselages with Pressure moulded resin and metal parts to complete, which greatly improve the finished shape and detail for modellers. The company has tried various ways of producing Pressure moulded fuselages, but due to the current credit crisis throughout the world, the spiralling cost involved has made us look at other ways of producing similar items at a much cheaper costing. This is certainly still being considered, but there has been a remarkable preference by skilled modellers to retain the current format, stating that there is less filling required with this current method than many mass produced plastic kits available today. This has allowed us to venture into producing Pressure Resin Moulded parts for the kits including engines and now undercarriage sets, which offer substantially more detail than ever before.
As ever we have tried to keep a balanced range of kits, with both civil, military, vintage and modern on offer. There are always those who contact us requesting various kits to be made, but we have to bear in mind the many other companies available on the market who produce similar or identical kits often at less cost. What Welsh Models have always strived for is correct detail and size within the scale. There are many small firms trying to do likewise, but after nearly 50 years in total of mould making, Welsh Models are fully aware of many considerations within mould making and production which achieve these details and sizes when manufactured. There are equally many individuals who produce kits as a side line or hobby, whilst having 'day' jobs. Whilst we often admire their efforts, they don't always achieve what the modeller needs, and thereby Welsh models is proud to produce kits that are revered by the public, for a reasonable cost, and with probably the most research and accuracy available today.
Not only have we established a large range of kits for sale in our own right, but we have also taken on the sole trading rights to sell 'Proteus' manufactured 1:72nd scale Kits. The owner Bob Crowe is an accomplished pattern maker and Welsh Models has assisted in bringing his kits to the market place. Sadly due to ill health, there have not been any recent releases from this company, but we are assured that work is taking place to bring further releases, hopefully during 2013.
