Welcome to the Dorking Models Website

Dorking Models has been established for over 35 years in the town of Dorking in Surrey. It is a real model shop and within the 400 year old building is one of the best ranges of plastic kits to be found in the South of England. Apart from the range of kits we have in stock accessories such as Evergreen plastic strip, Humbrol, Tamiya, White Ensign and Games Workshop paints, various woods, metals, tools, scenic accessories and books.

We are also main agents for Hornby trains and Scalextric slot racing as well as keeping good stocks of Warhammer and Lego products. As if this was not enough we also keep a selection of ready made radio control cars, boats and aeroplanes.

Within the ranges of plastic kits we specialise in military models in 1/72 and 1/35th, aircraft in all scales, and a large range of ships, especially 1/700th plastic and resin kits.

Dorking Models has been mentioned in Arthur Ward's books on Airfix kits and his follow up Classic kits which mentioned our extensive collection of the vintage Eaglewall kits (originally manufactured in Dorking in the late 1950's). We always encourage a visit to the shop which is a throwback to how model shops used to be - bursting at the seams with stock but now you can order online if you cannot make the journey.

Dorking Models is owned by Tony Lawrence who, as past Chairman and President of the Invicta Military-Vehicle Preservation Society (IMPS) has been involved with the War and Peace military vehicle show (the largest in the World) since its inception over 20 years ago as well as being a committee member of the IPMS - UK (International Plastic Modellers Society) back in the early 1970's
