This manufacturer has a lot of different brand names, with overlapping product catalogs. Some of their sites were created and then disappeared within the past year. Ex:

But I guess that might just be what Chinese DTC eCommerce looks like these days, little different than all the made-up brand names that come and go on Amazon, often from the same manufacturers.

there’s a russian (or maybe ukranian?) company that’s been doing those kits since at least when i got my GF. i used to see them a lot in shops down in the outer banks. the assembled examples looked pretty well-designed/made in person.

I used to see these kits at Ace hardware, but the first time i ever saw them was a toy stand in Malaysia. The same products, but different company name. They sell them here jn Japan too. I’ve seen the finished pieces, but i haven’t touched them, mostly because i looks like hundreds of tiny parts that i would probably break when popping them out of the thin wood.

Looking at many similar looks in the catalog I see these that many have a similar feel.

ROKR designs are what got me excited to get a laser. I have done a few with my kids.

My niece ask me to help her builld a ROKR 1:18 Scale Model Army Jeep with her, and we did it in two afternoon sessions.
The material, cuts, fitting and overall product are very good.
