Answers on stock, pre-orders, delivery, payment and caring for your models. Search, or pick a topic.

Stock & pre-orders

Do you stock every item listed on the website?

Most items on our website are in stock and ready to send. Some are reserved or awaiting release from suppliers. Each product page shows its stock status and an estimated delivery date.

In stock

In our warehouse and ready to dispatch the same or next working day.

Available

Ordered in from our suppliers, usually dispatched 2–5 days after you order. Orders with several items ship together once everything is available. If you’d prefer separate shipments, email [email protected]. We check availability with suppliers and keep stock levels as up to date as possible, but items can occasionally sell out without our knowledge.

Pre-order

Not yet released. The estimated release is shown on the product page, and we dispatch as soon as it arrives with us.

When am I charged for a pre-order?

Pre-orders are charged when the model is released and ready to ship, not when you place the order. PayPal isn’t available for pre-orders, so please pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Can I cancel a pre-order?

Yes. Use our pre-order cancellation form and we’ll take care of it.

I can’t find the model I’m looking for. Can you help?

Send us the details and we’ll do our best to find it. Many models are made in limited quantities, so we can’t always secure one.

Can I order more than one of the same item?

Yes. The stock level is shown on the product page. If you need more than the number shown, contact us and we’ll see if we can find more.

Orders & delivery

When will my order be dispatched?

In-stock items are dispatched the same working day once payment has been received. Items ordered in from suppliers are dispatched within 2–5 days.

Orders are processed between 9am and 2pm, Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. Orders placed outside these hours are processed on the next working day.

How much is delivery?

UK delivery is free on orders over £150, and £4.50 tracked below that. Express and next-day options are available at checkout. International delivery starts from £12.99. See delivery information for every region.

Do you deliver outside the UK?

Yes, we deliver to more than 80 countries, including Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UAE and South Africa. International orders are sent with taxes and duties pre-paid, so there’s nothing to pay on delivery. See all countries and rates.

How will I know you’ve received my order?

You’ll get a confirmation email as soon as your order is placed. Once payment clears, a second email confirms we’re processing it. When it ships, a dispatch email tells you when it was sent and when to expect it.

How can I track my order?

Your dispatch email includes tracking. You can also log in and go to My Account › Orders, open the order and choose Track shipment.

What happens if no one is in when the courier calls?

The courier will leave a card saying when they’ll try again, and may leave your parcel with a neighbour. After three attempts the parcel comes back to us. If that happens we have to charge for delivery again, as the courier charges us to re-send it. Where possible, make sure someone is available to sign for your parcel.

Payment

Which payment methods do you accept?

Credit and debit cards, PayPal (including Pay in 3), Apple Pay, Google Pay, Amazon Pay and Link. We also accept cheques and postal orders by arrangement.

Why is my payment taking a while to clear?

PayPal payments can take 1–2 days to clear, after which we dispatch your order. For card payments, make sure the billing address at checkout matches the address registered to your card. If they don’t match, further authorisation is needed and your order will be delayed.

Can I pay by cheque or postal order?

Yes. Email [email protected] to let us know you’ll be sending a cheque or postal order. We’ll reserve the stock and dispatch once the funds have cleared.

Do I earn rewards when I shop?

Yes. Every £1 you spend earns 300 MU Points, which is 3% back towards future orders. See how MU Points work.

Your models

How do I remove my model from its packaging?

Most models are screwed to a display base to keep them safe in transit. Many collectors leave them on the base for display.

To remove the model, look underneath the base for the screws. A Phillips screwdriver usually works, though some need a flathead. Take care, as most models have small, delicate parts such as wing mirrors.

If you have any difficulty, contact us and we’ll help.

My model has a small imperfection. Is that a fault?

Models are hand-built and manufacturers work within set tolerances, so minor imperfections are normal. If your model has a significant defect, we’re happy to help. Read our returns policy for details.

How do I return a model?

Tell us within 14 days of delivery by emailing [email protected] with your order number and reason. The full process is on our returns & refunds page.
