Support Ukrainian model companies
Article updated: 2023.01.24
To help the model producing companies of Ukraine financially during the war, please consider buying their products. If you would buy models anyway, take a look at their products, maybe you'll find something that catches your interest.
I've gathered the companies I know of, and the web-stores you can buy their models from.
As the international trading from Ukraine might be disrupted, also consider to support these companies by buying models from their international distributors.
If you already know these companies, and you are satisfied with their products, you might even consider donating money for them directly. I'm almost sure they won't refuse this.
If you'd like to be surprised by the Hot Fuzz film, I don't recommend you to watch the trailer beyond 1:18, because it gives away too much of the plot. It basically provides a summary of the film.
