CAMs

CAMs – Combat Armour Models is known for its exceptionally detailed military kits, especially in 1:35 scale. Typical features include finely engraved surfaces and unusual model themes – ideal for ambitious model builders who love authenticity and enjoy building.

Complementing the wide standard range from Tamiya (e.g. easy-to-build classic tanks, excellent fit) and the highly detailed kits from Dragon Models (fine individual link tracks, large number of parts), CAMs occupies the niche of rare vehicles and variants. CAMs model kits – a young brand from Hong Kong CAMs emerged as a brand in the mid-2010s; early new tools attracted attention with rare models and were distributed internationally by Riich Models. The Hong Kong-based company focuses on model quality. While Tamiya has been the benchmark for beginners and professionals for decades and Dragon Models sets new standards with a wide variety of parts, CAMs positions itself as a supplier of unusual, historically interesting vehicles that expand collections thematically, much to the delight of many model building fans.

CAM's special feature – no standard models

What makes CAM special is the combination of unique models and a high level of detail. Many kits depict interwar and early WW2 themes that have rarely been available as injection mouldings before. The kit design is practical: sensible part division, fine engravings, good fit – ideal for clean finishing, washing and chipping.

In comparison: Tamiya scores with a very good ‘out-of-the-box’ building experience (perfect for quick, clean results), Dragon Models scores with maximum parts for super-detail fans. CAMs complements both by providing collectors with the ‘missing’ vehicles – ideal for completing dioramas with Tamiya figures or Dragon accessories. CAMs – Product range The focus is on 1:35 scale (injection moulding). Some of the model kits also contain photo-etched parts. Popular series include early British and international prototypes (e.g. various Vickers developments), commercial and military vehicles, and variants with rare country-specific features. Many kits thus fill real gaps in other manufacturers' ranges: if you are looking for kits beyond the ‘usual suspects’, CAMs provides the perfect basis – and you can enhance or customise them with accessories (tools, figures, diorama sets) or detail parts (tracks, small parts) from other manufacturers.
