Story of The Model Mule

One Mule. Thousands of Models.Endless Possibilities.

Over the years, we’ve collected thousands of model kits from across the country—planes, tanks, ships, cars… you name it, there’s probably a box (or ten) sitting somewhere in my stash. The only problem? We’ve never kept track of them.

So when collectors started reaching out asking, “Do you have this one?”, we got tired of saying, “We’re not sure.” That’s when The Model Mule was born.

This shop was built to help hobbyists and collectors track down those rare, hard-to-find kits—the ones long out of production, the ones you’ve been searching for, the ones that slipped through the cracks.

So… why “The Model Mule”?

Over the years, more than a few customers have called us their plastic model dealer—helping fuel their passion for the hobby. We’ve taken that to heart. Like any good mule, we work hard—sourcing forgotten collections from every corner of the country and delivering them to collectors like you, at fair prices and with fast, dependable shipping.
