Model Zone News



Amerang, the wholesale subdivision of Model Zone has been sold as a going concern to a competitor, Ripmax. There were no bids for the company as a whole.

It looks like it's the end for the 47 shops and they are all subject to a closing down scale. Paint products and glues are on offer at a 40% discount.

Shops will start closing in a matter of weeks and office staff have already been made redundant.

  1. Shame, our local store was pretty friendly. Picked clean of the good stuff by the time I went past.

    1. All deliveries stop and then all this is left is the stuff that hasn't sold.

  4. It is a crying shame as it is the only model shop in Leicester and I think the whole of Leicestershire. Actually the paints are 50% off.
