Beacon Models is a collaboration between two expert plastic kit designers; Will Jayne and Bryan Wall. The founders met at IPMS Telford in 2019. When Bryan was looking for the next big thing Will suggested working on kits together and Beacon Models began to take shape.

Beacon Models aims to create exceptional model kits that set a new standard of quality at small scales. We interact closely with our community via our social medial channels and at shows around the United Kingdom. At Beacon love to see the creativity on show from people who have built our model kits and we encourage people to share their completed and in-progress projects with us.

Beacon Models have been manufacturing kits and accessories since 2022.
