General stuff:
Hornet and Wolf products are unpainted and unassembled scale models intended for hobbyists. They contain small parts, and may cause harm if ingested. These kits are not suitable for small children, and are not recommended for anyone under 14 years old.

Personal stuff:
This site is now primarily an on-line catalogue only, and I no longer accept credit or debit cards. I have now reached an advanced age (See picture above) and I have decided to see if I can quieten things down and leave the selling to my distributors and resellers while I can still move my limbs around! Any feedback from modellers as to the availability of Hornet and Wolf products would be appreciated. There is an understandable tendency among some traders to cream off the best selling items and to ignore the rest.
The authentic address for Email is hornetandwolf@hotmail.com - but please explore this website before Emailing any questions. Most of the queries I get are already answered somewhere on the website!
By the way, I’d just like to remind everyone that I do NOT sculpt the Wolf models, or the SC range of Hornet figurines (these are often incorrectly attributed to me). Info about the sculptors is at the top of the relevant pages.
Not just pretty faces!
We sell plenty of Hornet heads (even the ugly ones), but the big range of Hornet and Wolf figurines is sometimes forgotten. Many merchants don’t even sell them – you might have to shop around! Please take time to browse the other sections on this site. The images are old and a bit small and blurry by today’s standards, but the quality of the products remains good. (To rescan them all using higher definition would take me far too long!)
Metal Mettle:
Nearly all the Hornet figurines are cast in metal. True, metal is harder to shape and alter, but the reproduction is as good as resin and in some ways superior. I know. I sculpted them.
Mellow Yellow:
A few models are in our earlier yellow resin instead of the usual grey. This is nothing to be concerned about. The colour was changed temporarily for supply reasons and the quality is the same in either colour.
The yellow resin is a similar colour to the Hornet packs, and has the usual Hornet matt surface. (Pirated versions often have a ‘milky’ or oily look. These should be avoided).
Buyer Beware:
Beware of a scam used by at least one determined pirate – he advertises products as genuine and uses pictures of the manufacturer’s boxes, but claims that the packaging is lost or destroyed (‘No more box’). You are likely to get a knocked off copy in a plastic bag. The costs of returning the item and jumping through eBay’s hoops often do not make it worthwhile to claim your money back. Negative feedback is what the pirates fear the most, so if you get ripped off - use it!
