Takom is the same. They've forgotten the web.

Mirror Models is pretty much a one man operation run out of the owners house in Co Clare ireland and the place he lives has a pretty poor broadband coverage so much so that he has to drive to the next town sometimes just to answer his emails. His web presence may be poor but I've never heard a complaint about his service

LZ Models (Mirror - same company effectively) are very much alive and kicking. They do all the the casting work for Leopard Workshop, HKCW and Scorpion Miniature Models and we are in constant touch. Granted their email can be patchy at times, but they go out of their way to fulfill orders big or small.

Thanks for that answer
I would like to get some of their kits and accessories so it's good to hear that they are still alive and kicking and haven't kicked the bucket

I really like Mirror kits. At one point in their infancy, their plastic was a bit touch and go. The owner addressed these issues and improved the product . I have several of their Ford and Chev trucks and a few other things. Really great kits!!!

Not to mention their Diamond T cargo and wrecker trucks and the CAT dozer. Great stuff and their customer service is always excellent! Saw Libor posting here on some threads just a few weeks ago.
