My son got a new model car for Christmas, we needed to get some clips for it as we had lost one. Wanted to shop local and not online so we went to Colchester A1 Models. We’ll never again the older gentleman behind the counter was dam right rude and very snappy with us! Will not be returning and will have to by online or find another local model shop!

Fantastic model shop that's big on knowledge and expertise.
A true little gem that should be supported more by locals.
If you want decent products at reasonable prices that will last, this is the place to go.
We have been customers for years buying various different radio controlled models, parts, accessories and sometimes just popping in for some additional support or advise.
I highly recommend this shop for all your modelling requirements

I bought my first radio controlled car here 25yrs ago with my dad, and lots of scaletrix cars etc.
I just went back and purchased a new rc truck with my young children for us to play with.
Yes you pay a bit more than online, I checked, maybe only ~7-8% for the truck but that pays for the brick n mortar, tax etc etc but most importantly...
DECADES of knowledge and advice and seeing the kit in hand! I would not have known where to start looking for trucks, that's the biggest part of why I chose to support shops like this.
I came with a few ideas but steered in the direction of the ARRMA Granite

Wow! Fantastic customer service, even though I am not an actual customer! Having developed a fault on my son's Christmas present by Boxing Day, I emailed A1 in desperation for some advice (I didn't buy the car from them but they are my local model shop...) not really expecting a response. To my delight, David replied the next day with some suggestions which enabled me with my very basic skills to repair the car. I will definitely be paying a visit once covid restrictions are eased to spend some money and express my gratitude.
