Pre-War

The fascinating range of Pre-War British vehicles is a much neglected field of research.  These unreliable 'Heath-Robinson' looking relics performed a holding role whilst the prospect of a European war seemed remote.  As the storm clouds signalling the imminent conflict they became the vehicles on which a large proportion of the rapidly expanding army were trained and, if they were very unlucky, fought in the opening engagements of the War.

Safety Instructions (GPSR)

Safe use of our products is always a concern. Fortunately, the specialist nature of our sets mean that they are almost exclusively used by experienced modellers, used to dealing with the materials employed. However, to clarify, there are two main materials which require care - and must only be used for the intended purpose - to help build an authentic small-scale version of the original.

Etched Brass - Frets may have sharp edges, take care when handling. Parts are small so keep them away from young children and pets.

Resin - Resin dust can be carcinogenic (it can affect your lungs and has been implicated in instances of cancer). Nevertheless, it is straightforward to prevent harm. When sanding or sawing resin, do so in a well ventilated space and use an appropriate mask. Dampened Wet'n'Dry paper is good at trapping small particles when sanding. Vacuum your working area when completed. Again, keep away from small children or pets.
