Matador Models was founded in 1997, and first traded at Trucks & Tracks that year. Since then our ranges of kits in resin and white metal have continued to grow rapidly. At the company’s heart are its KC ranges. These are conversions and improvements on 1/76th plastic kits. From there we have branched out into complete kits, and the range reflects the interests of our small group of master builders: if we like it and it is not on the market, we build it! We have also bought and therefore kept on the market kits from other manufacturers, notably most of the 4Mil and the complete Airfield Accessories ranges, from 1/144th to 1/35th, though the largest scale, being too far away from our own interests, we have now passed it on to Scalelink. More recent acquisitions have been masters from the Trux and BW ranges.

While extending these ranges, we have added more: AA76 in our favourite 1/76th scale and AAC, a range of conversions on airfield vehicles in 1/76th and 1/72nd. Following a growth of interest in the First World War, we have extended and reorganised our early ranges. We have also widened our interests, both by stocking plastic kits which complement our ranges and by starting a fantasy range for role play and wargamers.

If Matador tries for a “house style” it is that its kits should be a pleasure to build, and we aim to keep them in the middle range of complexity. While it is always best to refer to photographs and other references when building a kit, we try to make our models capable of standing alone: of being built and painted accurately by someone who does not have several books on the subject. If you are a beginner with only a few plastic kits behind you, or coming back into the hobby, why not take on one of the less demanding projects - try a conversion kit.

There are many sturdy plastic kits on the market which, with a conversion kit and a little effort, can be turned into eye catching and rare vehicles and enhance a collection. In the Tank Museum you can find research articles for beginners and experienced alike.

Matador is and will remain a small company, not least because for us, as for our customers, this is a hobby. Note that because of the way we subcontract the manufacture our models, while the larger parts are nearly always in resin, some details are produced both in metal and resin. Some examples of kits marked “metal/resin” may therefore appear entirely in resin or metal. The decisions are made for reasons of production, and do not in any way affect the quality of the model you receive. We hope you enjoy our kits.

Minairons Miniatures is a recently created Catalan company, whose birth date backs to September 2012 and is aimed at producing multiscale, fast assembly, quality miniatures for wargaming and collecting generally in hard plastic, but also in resin.

Minairons The company has been christened as Minairons Miniatures in behalf of the mysterious faeric beings of that name, who are reported to live in the deepest valleys of the Catalonian and Andorran Pyrenees range. Such legendary minairons are said to be minute, winged beings moving in dense, fearsome swarms. As with a number of similar beings of other cultures, minairons enjoy a dual, ambiguous nature; so that meeting them can mean for you a durable blessing or a fatal doom, even your death.

Such are the creatures we have entrusted our fate on, such is our bid.

Minairons Miniatures' ranges will usually have a close relationship with the military history of the Iberian Peninsula nations logically, with a special accent on Catalonia itself, where the brand is born. Following such core idea, our starting range consists of a selection of Spanish Civil War fighting vehicles, mainly those with a wider use in other Inter-war conflicts, or even Early World War II.

These are to be released first in 1/56 scale 1/72 scale 1/100 scale 1/144 scale and 1/600 scale, which are to be developed nearly altogether. Thanks to the CAD design techniques we use in prototyping, we shall be able to export our ranges into 1:56th scale too although at a slightly later stage, once ensured the firm has consolidated enough for such exciting endeavour.

Welcome to Modelcollect, We are formed in 2012, focused on the scale military vehicle, aircraft, ship, die-cast models and kits.

Newline Designs manufacture finely detailed white metal historical figures for wargamers and collectors in 10mm and 28mm scales. All the figures are sculpted by Sean Pereira ensuring consistency, accuracy and anatomical correctness throughout the range.
