Macs Modeling

Post by iamf1 »

It is with a heavy heart I have to inform you, the end of an era is here. Macs Modeling is closing. :(
There are multiple reasons for this: The cost of buying items from Japan has increased as has Shipping, plus domestic and International shipping from me has become too expensive.
We have lost a lot of our International customers due to the shipping costs.
Also many modelers are buying direct from manufacturers and distributors.
I am having to move again. My lease is not going to be renewed. Have to be out by the end of July.
The more you buy the less I have to move.
Everything in the store is being sold at 20% discount, all reference material is 25% off.

Arizona Racing Models LLC is continuing, as these are parts I manufacture and don't have to buy/import.

I may get time to build some models for myself again. :)

Thank you everyone for your support over the years.

Cheers,
Mac

Sad news my friend. I wish i could still buy from you, because you are one of the few honest seller out there. It’s been a real pleasure to buy from you and will never forget the meet up in Brussels. Also sad that you have to move again, but i know you will get back on your feet and find a new house. Take good care buddy and maybe we see eachother again😃
Best regards,
Lesley

I've always liked doing business with you. Mac, you are one of those rare people who have always been honest and trustworthy. It's a pity to lose you and your great shop. We will miss the large selection, great prices, fast and safe deliveries. I hope for some great projects from you, because where should we get these grandiose upgrade sets for the Mclaren M 23 , your brake discs and alloy wheels. I'm thinking about the 312T4 rim set. The best you can get for it. I hope you get back on your feet and can get nice things from you. Keep your fingers crossed that everything goes well for you.
