About Small Scale Models: Driven by Passion, Built for Collectors
Small Scale Models was created out of a shared, lifelong passion for diecast model collecting. Founded by husband-and-wife collectors Andy and his family, who have spent nearly two decades hunting down, buying, and trading rare models, our mission is simple: to build the dedicated UK store we always wished existed when searching for our own collections.
Instead of spending endless hours scouring auction sites, forum boards, or retail shelves, Small Scale Models offers a curated, reliable destination for enthusiasts looking for authentic 1:64 scale cars, vintage commercial diecast, and limited-edition releases.
Why Collectors Choose Small Scale Models
-
Built by Collectors, for Collectors: We understand the thrill of finding that exact missing casting code, carded variant, or nostalgia-filled commercial van because we collect them ourselves.
-
Guaranteed Safe Collector Packaging: We treat every box, card, and blister as if it were joining our personal display. Every order is hand-inspected and shipped inside rigid corrugated cardboard boxes with protective buffering—never bent into soft mailers or padded envelopes.
-
Fast Dispatch from the UK: All stock listed on our site is held in-house in the UK for immediate processing and dispatch within 24 hours (Monday to Friday).
-
Honest & Transparent Grading: From mint carded Hot Wheels and Matchbox to rare vintage EFSI, Corgi, and Lledo models, we provide clear photos and honest descriptions so you buy with total confidence.
