Model Empire

Model Empire was a hobby shop specializing in plastic model kits, die-cast cars, slot car racing, rockets, and more. Our Retail Store is now closed.

We will continue sales at www.modelempireusa.com under the "Shopping Links" tab. Model Empire is a second generation, family owned hobby store. We specialize in plastic model kits (both current and discontinued), die-cast cars of many scales, slot car racing, rockets, trains (HO & N Scales), modeling supplies and more! We always have something new coming into our shop either from factories or fro

m collections that we have purchased. We pride ourselves on our customer service and selection. We also ship all over the world!

The shop is closed and we are in the middle of the transition to online selling. We had to put our eBay and Amazon accounts on vacation until we can get everything organized and back in order and all hooked up to get back online. Thank you for your patience!
