Greetings to all fellow UK modellers

I am looking to start a business with my father, selling model kits online. Now we have a very limited start up budget so it is vital we have a good idea of what modellers are looking for kit wise. As we build up we can stock more variety of kits and modelling accessories.

At first, we will be using ebay as our first step to start selling but we will look at other things, such as our own website and possibly model shows once we are ready to make the next step.

What I would like from everyone in the UK that visits this site, is to spend 2 minutes sending me some answers to the 6 questions below. This will give us a good idea of what modellers want.

Please answer the questions honestly and with short simple (one word if possible!) answers so I can easily collate the information.

I thank you all in advance and look forward to seeing your answers.

1) What scale do you mostly model in?

2) Which is your favourite model Brand?

3) Which is your favourite modelling era? (ie WW1, WW2, Korea/Vietnam, modern etc)

4) Which is your favourite ship or ship class to model?

5) Which navy do you mostly model?

6) Where do you mostly buy your models? ( please answer; A-Online stores, B-Ebay,C-Model shops)



Many thanks
Mike
