About ScaleMonkey

By model makers, for model makers

My name is Karsten, I come from Ulm in Germany and I am a passionate hobby model builder. Since 2014 I have been running ScaleMonkeya platform for model building fans.
I have been involved in model building since I was a child – from small glider models to US quarter-scale car models. I was particularly fascinated by the opportunity to implement my ideas in design and mechanics. A special highlight was the assembly of a 1:4 scale Cobra 427 V8 combustion engine kit by Gary Conley from the USA.
Unfortunately, the 1:4 scale has not caught on in car model making and is slowly disappearing from the scene. We will therefore now concentrate on the common 1:5 and 1:6 scales. Our expertise lies above all in detailed models from the era of large combustion engines. By combining traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing processes, we give our models a special appeal. Each model is created as a unique piece with a great deal of passion and dedication.
Through our long-standing relationships with other model builders worldwide, we always strive for the highest quality and perfection. ScaleMonkey was created to help with tricky questions around model building – be it regarding components, design or challenges during construction.
ScaleMonkey – RC Model Builder” is designed to enable you to immerse yourself in the world of model building and benefit from the experiences of other enthusiasts – true to the motto “By model builders for model builders“.

Handmade in Germany!

Our models are made here in-house with love and passion, from the first stroke to the smallest detail. This enables us to guarantee you quality and enjoyment of our products that goes far beyond a low price. The models are designed using SolidWorks 3D software, so that we receive information about the functions and appearance of the finished model early on in the development process. In this way, we are able to produce very precise and true-to-scale elements that can withstand the demands of intensive model operation. Our milled parts are manufactured in a high-end CNC milling center in Sankt Augustin, which guarantees certified quality from the individual part to series production. Because at ScaleMonkey we attach great importance to the fact that our customers trust us.
