DBMK Models
DBMK Models is focused on producing model kits with two core priorities, accuracy and buildability. Their development process begins with detailed research, often using LiDAR scanning to capture the shape and placement of key features such as vents, panels, and surface details. This data is then carefully checked against reference material, as preserved museum aircraft can sometimes differ from true service examples due to restoration or display modifications.
To refine each project further, DBMK Models combines scan data with extensive study of books, museum access, service manuals, and factory drawings. This research is supported by ongoing collaboration between designers and subject matter experts, helping ensure each kit stays true to the original subject while remaining practical and rewarding to build.
DBMK Models aims to give modellers the best possible result by using modern production methods and materials. Their kits currently make use of injection-moulded plastic, photoetch, and 3D-printed parts where these methods offer genuine benefits. The brand also takes a practical approach to detail, keeping core kits accessible while making higher-detail upgrade options available separately for those who want to take their build further.
