GREAT SERVICE!!Dave is knowledgeable, friendly and really helpful. He was totally on the ball getting my new drone in on pre-order, he even took 10 minutes out to show me a few of the basics prior to letting me leave the shop. Highly recommended

Fantastic model shop and very deceptive from the outside. It is like an Aladdin's cave inside with loads of items to choice from. Staff are polite and helpful, and prices are very good compared to other model shops. I was extremely impressed and would highly recommend a visit.

Wow! Fantastic customer service, even though I am not an actual customer! Having developed a fault on my son's Christmas present by Boxing Day, I emailed A1 in desperation for some advice (I didn't buy the car from them but they are my local model shop...) not really expecting a response. To my delight, David replied the next day with some suggestions which enabled me with my very basic skills to repair the car. I will definitely be paying a visit once covid restrictions are eased to spend some money and express my gratitude.

Lovely little local model shop. Some parking available however the free car park nearby is your best bet.Extremely knowledgeable staff with a great independent retailer experience.Plenty of stock and really well priced. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit.

Went in with my son who is a novice with r/c cars. Told the guys in there that this was the case and both were very helpful with pointing out a suitable setup. My boy is over the moon with the car and will be going back for spares and upgrades. As stated in other reviews, not as cheap as online but at least you get customer service. Thanks guys

This shop is great, friendly and has a good range of products.Yes, things in here might be more expensive than online, but the difference isn't much and it is worth it to keep a place like this open when good model shops are few and far between.If I had one suggestion for the owner(s) it would be that they stock a range of plastic model kits at different prices. I've visited many a time looking to drop around 30 pounds on a tank kit and the cheapest item in 1/35 scale (from a quality brand) has been £40 plus, Which is a shame.This issue is minor however, and the shop is still worthy of 5 stars in my opinion.

This is a great little shop, took my son here regularly for 10 years whilst he was growing up. Staff were always helpful,friendly and very informative. I never had any issues there, would highly recommend them.

Fantastic model shop that's big on knowledge and expertise.A true little gem that should be supported more by locals.If you want decent products at reasonable prices that will last, this is the place to go.We have been customers for years buying various different radio controlled models, parts, accessories and sometimes just popping in for some additional support or advise.I highly recommend this shop for all your modelling requirements

My son got a new model car for Christmas, we needed to get some clips for it as we had lost one. Wanted to shop local and not online so we went to Colchester A1 Models. We’ll never again the older gentleman behind the counter was dam right rude and very snappy with us! Will not be returning and will have to by online or find another local model shop!

Excellent advice on all products, unfortunately parking and disability access can be an issue. Small shop been around for along time guy knows his stuff and worth the trip.
