MILICAST
should be an instantly
familiar name to you, as we are probably the longest continuous
manufacturers of 1:76/20mm model resin kits in the world!
Resin
cast scale models were pioneered in the seventies by Eric
Clark (ECM) and passed on to Milicast in1985. Since then we
have continued to be in the vanguard of progress and innovation
in this scale and were one of the first manufacturers to introduce
Polyurethane resins to AFV reproduction.
Over
the years we have built up a pool of experience, which with
our Master Pattern Makers, has allowed us to build both the
popular AFV's, but also many of the unusual types often neglected
by the plastic kit manufacturers in this scale. W
e now have what is widely accepted as the largest range of
quality resin cast 1:76/20mm Scale Model kits, Figure sets
and Conversions of WWII subjects, available anywhere in the
world.
Our
aim has always been to build as accurate a model as possible
using all available research material, including original
vehicles where possible, and the worldwide resources of M.A.F.V.A.
If new data becomes available we will update our "master"
at the earliest possible opportunity to further improve the
model. That's something that the mass produced plastic kit
manufacturers just don't do!
In
2004 we started our Battlefield Series in
response to repeated customer requests to make available models
which, although simplified in their construction and suitably
robust, would retain the Milicast standard of high level accuracy
and fine detail but be suitable for both Gamers and Collectors.
We believe that we offer that quality alternative. This expanding
range with "off the shelf" availability at competitive prices
is already the largest resin range of WWII quality Gaming
pieces available. As a result many Milicast Premiere Range
kits have been superceded by their Battlefield Series equivalents
whilst others still continue to be available in both ranges.
New models do however continue to be added to both ranges.
We
are Main Stockists of the exciting
Dan Taylor Modelworks range of Normandy subjects
and of the widely acclaimed 1/76/20mm AB Figures
white metal figure range designed by Anthony Barton.( Please
refer to the Figure Sections within the appropriate nationality
grouping to see their references.) In addition we carry the
eclectic 1/72 Retrokit (Exokit)
(France) and Retrokit (UK) ranges.
Milicast
are also the sole British and European distributor of
Aleran Decals of the USA who produce a superb range
of the finest quality 20mm scale water slide decals covering
a wide range of WWII subjects for most of the combatant nations
including American, Australian, Belgian, British, Bulgarian,
Canadian, Croatian, Finnish, French, "Free-French", German,
Hungarian, Indian, Italian, New Zealand, Polish, Romanian,
South African, Soviet & Spanish Civil War AFV's. Subjects
also include Axis Flags, French Road Signs, Tactical &
Unit Markings, Allied Stars, Balkenkreuze, Licence Plates,
etc., We fully recommend these decals for use with both resin
and metal kits or just to improve plastic injected kits. We
are also stockists of Dan Taylors Modelworks
waterslide decals and of Black Lion Decals from
Holland who have made several sets designed specifically for
some of the more unusual subjects in our range including the
Yugoslav M3A3 Stuart SP conversions and the Japanese Ka-Mi
amphibious tank among others. (ONLY ORDERING DECALS? If
