At the moment, we only sell and ship within the EU. Taxes and shipping outside of the EU are too complicated and costly to consider at the moment.

Thank you for understanding.

  • Modelist is a one-man hobby and scale modelling shop, based in Mechelen.
    That one man is me, Wim Mahieu. I've been building models since I was 15 years old (that's over 27 years, if you're counting).
    I've been literally dreaming about starting a model shop for years, but the opportunity to start my own didn't come until 2022, when the sad news came that Verschooten Modelbouw in Antwerp was closing.
    So I started a trajectory that would lead me to today: with the Modelist store in Mechelen, and the website you're viewing now.
    I hope to offer modellers in the region (and eventually worldwide) everything they need to practice our great hobby.
    If you have any questions, suggestions or requests: shoot me an email at info@modelist.be or use the contact form below.

    Happy modelling!
