Retrokit Home

Wow... It's been a little while since I updated this website and I apologise for it. Christmas (a very busy time of the year for us face/body painters), a holiday on the sunny and beautiful island of Malta, then the preps for two shows at the end of January all took their toll into my 'spare', ie. modelling, time...

Still, plenty of goodies are being prepared and the end of January is bringing five new items already, including a beautiful (beauty is in the eye of the beholder..) Canon de 155 Long de Bange Mle.1877 in the 1/72 RetroTracks catalogue. Accompanying early WWI French artillerymen are also available, as a re-boxing of the still recent Lancier Bleu / Legio figure set.
My sincere 'thanks' to Bruno Arnal for allowing me to add his superb figures to my catalogue.

Other new January items include a Cockpit Detail Set for the brand new Hasegawa F-22 Raptor Egg Plane, a Cockpit Detail Set for the recently re-released Airfix Angel Interceptor, and a 1/200 Airbus A319 Conversion Kit. We are also introducing a limited range of decals from Drew Decal in the USA, obviously mostly aimed at complementing the 1/200 RetroWings conversion kits, but do note that we will also offer some 1/144 decal sheets from the same manufacturer for both civilian and military airplanes.

Two other important bits of news this early in the New Year:

1. a new RetrokiT website is being prepared and will hopefully be 'live' early March. It should be a lot easier to navigate and much easier in terms of purchasing kits and selecting appropriate postage... It will do away with a number of small 'bugs' that keep bothering me on this website too. Details will appear here in due course.

2. the other piece of important info is that I will be offering FREE p&p worldwide throughout February 2012 (starting today). Details can be found here.

Stock-wise, the situation is all right but I must admit the popularity of a few items took me by surprise and therefore I also apologise to all those who are still waiting for their Hawker Hunter bits in particular... In any case, any orders taken in March 2012 will benefit from the free p&p offer, even if goods can't be dispatched as soon as I'd like.

Projected releases for the New Year include a whole lot of items. Priority in the early stages of 2012 will be given to the launch of the 1/35 AFV range (expected in May) and the establishment of the 1/200 airliner range, but the other ranges will also expand throughout 2012... Just to whet your appetite, the following are already in preparation:
