C-Customs is a custom model company specialising in 1:400 custom diecast models. The concept is you either send off one of your own models to have the decals changed or the owner will source a model for you and then change the decals on that. The pricing at C-Customs is reasonable and affordable. The quality of the models made is extremely good and surprised me at first. This concept is perfect to get some of those models you just wish you had, but haven’ t been released yet. Ordering from C-Customs is simple. Just send the owner a message on Instagram(@ c _ customs) and he’ ll be happy to hear your requests. There is a waiting list which can take a fair amount of time but remember, these customs take some time to make and Callum is running the company all on his own! However, the two times I have ordered, I have never waited that long and trust me, it’ s worth the wait! The customs themselves are great quality and are completed to a very high standard, I’ ve never been unhappy with a custom from the company and haven’ t heard of anyone who has been unhappy. The little touches such as a custom box, invoice, guide on how to handle the model and with some models, a complimentary C-Customs stand.

I was able to ask the owner a few questions about the company.

Q A

Q A

What inspired you to start C-Customs?
It came about because I signed up to a charity expedition to Malaysia in July 2016 and I had to have a way to fundraise, so I started making custom models and selling them on eBay. It kind of spiralled out of control as you can probably tell!
What’ s been your favourite custom that you have made so far?
It’ s very hard to say and I don’ t have a favourite as I like many of the ones I have made. My favourite times however are when I get to make models I haven’ t made before or are from far away destinations!
