More about Derby Marine Models The model ships we sell are from the leading brands in the industry such as Amati, Aeropiccola, Corel, Caldercraft, Euromodels, Mantua, Panart, Sergal etc. with a range of difficulty from novice to expert. We have chosen only those brands of kits that meet our quality standards and contain the best materials and fittings to ensure that you enjoy building your model ship or model boat to the highest standard. A good quality kit includes all the fittings required as well as pre-cut plywood frames and decks, various types of wood strip, rigging cord, plans and multi language instructions. Glues are not included. There are only a few essential tools needed. We suggest a plank bending tool, pin inserter, scalpel, Stanley knife, a sanding block, and a pin vice drill. Even if you have to buy all these tools it should cost no more that £35.00 We have put a skill level rating on every kit to help you to choose a suitable kit. It may take you six months to build a £50.00 to £80.00 kit and at the other end of the range a £450.00 to £600.00 kit may take one or two years. Every model builder is different and what one may find easy another may find difficult, so if you are not sure please ask us about it. Remember, our expert advice is free.
