Quite often we get questions from customers buying their first model boat kit about what they will need to complete the build. Generally, some people are not sure whether the model kit contains everything required to finish. That is one reason we began offering tool-building kits alongside our range of model ship kits. For a…

Attending a boat show is a very rewarding experience. Aside from the opportunity for exhibitors to advertise and potentially sell boats or boat accessories, these events are a great way to meet others enthusiastic about ships. They can also be very educational; usually a boat show will put on an event to teach both children…

Trafalgar Square was awash with a sea of green on Sunday as a pool of revelers eagerly made their way to its centre for St Patrick’s Day. With the iconic view of London’s Big Ben in their eyes and the welcome tones of Irish music in their ears, even the cold, rainy weather couldn’t dampen…
Only a few weeks ago we discussed the importance of preserving historical ships and looked at the organisations that do wonderful work to ensure the conservation of our naval history and culture. We looked at ships across both the UK and the US, and in the case of the UK, more specifically we looked at…

Choosing between a model kit and a ready-made model Two questions customers always ask before purchasing a model kit is; how difficult is the kit to build? And how long will it take me to build the model? We usually advise customers that our model kits fall under different categories depending on their difficulty. For…
vincent bekaert2024-09-13After a Dutch company told me they were no longer taking orders, a Chinese company did not respond and an American one did not offer the desired finish, I ended up at Premier Ship Models in January 2024. I opted for a premium finish from 6-8 months for the build of a 1990 Hinkley Sou'wester. With nothing more than a top view and a side view and a lot of photos they got to work. 9 times I got an update with photos to assess the progress and make comments. I happily made a photo album of this. I asked for quite a few corrections, which were all carried out. The only downside was a huge underestimation of the shipping costs. But the ship was very well packed and delivered in September. The sailing ship had suffered a bit on the journey, but I was able to repair that easily, except for the downhaul - it was too simple and would break off again immediately. I left that out (it would still be nice to receive a "real life" version). The correspondence was very good, my sincere thanks to the team for the great job!Douglas Holmes2024-09-10The first time I used Premier Ship Models was for a kit of the Batavia, this year. (2024). I was so happy with the service that when I was looking at getting the 'ghost ship' The Flying Dutchman, I checked around online and was extremely pleased to find they had it. Not only that but they were cheaper than other model ship kit suppliers I have used in the past. And again, on top of that it only took 8 days to get from placing the order in the UK to having FedEx deliver it on my doorstep in Western Australia. To put that into perspective, I am still awaiting delivery via Australia Post for some parts from Sydney NSW, three separate orders placed 15 days ago.... Extremely satisfied and would recommend them to anyone.cashrc2024-08-13Premier Ship Models did a great job of finding the kit I was after, an Aeronaut Pilot boat. Once found, it shipped quickly, but was held up in customs. Premier reached out to me and customs, and I received the kit a few days later. Premier is now one of my go-tos for European and Asian rc ship models.Bob moore2024-08-12fast and friendly service. thank you.Tim Fletcher2024-08-12Best place for your model needs without a doubt. I had a little trouble with an order (not Premier's fault) and I couldn't have asked for better support. Whenever I needed an answer or had a question the people at Premier responded usually within 24 hrs. They never left me waiting for an answer. Best business I have seen for customer service.William Madar2024-08-12Excellent selection.
