Frequently asked questions

Does RAILNSCALE sell painted kits too?

Yes, all RAILNSCALE Collectibles are ready made handpainted models. All other kits are unpainted.


Does RAILNSCALE sell kits in other scales too, like H0 for example?
We offer N (1:160) and TT (1:120) kits and car models. Tools are sometimes also available in Z (1:220) and H0 (1:87) scales too.


What paint do I need to paint the kits?

Best is to apply a primer first. Alls sorts of hobby paint like Revell Email Color, Humbrol Enamel, Tamiya, etc can be used.


What glue do I need to assemble the kits?

Superglue.


Why are most Collectibles cars without side windows?

This is a matter of manufacturability. Firstly most side windows of N-scale cars are very small, making it near impossible to install those tiny parts properly. Secondly, the clear materials for 3D printing are not so transparent. As a consequence the appearance of such ‘transparent’ windows does not really improve the appearance. Alternatives like vacuum formed windows only makes sense for larger models. With Microscale Kristal Klear it is possible to create acceptable windows. This unfortunately is a very man dependent process, and therefore not suitable for manufacturing in larger quantities. If you like you can apply Microscale Kristal Klear yourself.


Can I purchase RAILNSCALE products in a physical shop?

Yes, the DM-Toys/Modellbahn Union shop in Issum (Germany) sells RAILNSCALE products. Because of the limited stock it is best to call this shop first: +49 2835 7999885
