After months of hard work behind the scenes, we’re thrilled to officially welcome you to Modelverse—your new home for genuine, in-stock model kits in the UK!

To celebrate our grand opening, we’re offering free shipping on orders over £50 for a limited time. It’s our way of saying thank you for stopping by and joining us on day one.

A Journey of Passion and Preparation

Modelverse wasn’t built overnight. Over the past six months, we’ve been busy laying the groundwork:

• Securing a humble little UK-based warehouse (with just enough room for the good stuff)
• Installing rows of 3-metre-tall shelves—because model kits take up more space than you’d think
• Reaching out to manufacturers and authorised distributors
• Sourcing and curating products that reflect our love for model building
• Hand crafting a website that’s simple, honest, and enjoyable to use

All of it driven by one goal—to bring a wide and exciting selection of model kits to UK hobbyists, backed by solid service and a commitment to authenticity.

As of launch, we’ve gathered around 500 SKUs across 10+ brands, including some of the most recognised names in the hobby scene from Japan and China.

Our Promise to the Community

We’ve done our homework on the UK market and worked hard to offer competitive prices and a range that’s both popular and refreshingly different. Whether you’re hunting for the latest releases or curious about lesser-known gems, we hope you’ll find something that sparks your interest.

All our products are genuine and in-stock in the UK, ready to ship fast and securely.
