Hi all,
has anyone else come across the above website? if not go on it for a giggle at the prices. for example MS2262(model shipways) uss confederacy for only £97.99. You may not be surprised that, when I tried to contact them, i was unable to raise a response. Every single hit that they have advertised is under £100 and they have about 90 kits available. another example is HMS Agamemnon from Caldercraft, a kit that i have built and cost well towards 4 figures, is available for £96.99.

Please dont get burnt, this site cannot be legit. Cheers Neil

It's a Chinese store that sells on Aliexpress. Contact will go through Aliexpress. And they sell kits that are more then 100 euro. Example
When you buy a kit or article at their store you get Aliexpress guaranty. That's the same like Amazon. You deal with Aliexpress and not the shop.
I think the shop is recent on Aliexpress because they did not sell much till now and the feedback they got is recent.

Thanks for that info,

only down side is that Model Shipways and Caldercraft don't sell on aliexpress so they are either advertising kits that they cant supply or they are just after scamming money out of people.
Just my humble opinion, i may well be wrong

Always better to be cautious, nice to get a kit for a quarter of its normal price, but not so nice to loose all your cash, ! Be safe and let’s not encourage those that flagrantly copy others kits. I bet what you get if you get anything, is a cheap knock off..
Ps. Nice. Info steef66
