Important Note

Hello everyone,
We have hardly gone past through something that’s previously unheard of in anyone’s lifetime – a pandemic and some forms of shut-down of many countries to prevent the spread of coronavirus desease.
With regret we had been forced to cancel almost all modelling events in Poland scheduled for 2021 and many of those in 2022. Still, some of them were converted to on-line contests and shows.
However, it seems the World has become normal again but we will have to live together with the disease as it is now and we are aware of the fact that we may need to obey the pandemic rules again.
Still, we are looking forward to seeing you in great numbers and with lots of models at the scale modelling events in Poland and abroad.
We’d like to wish you all well.
Happy modelling to all of you, stay safe and take care!
