Pirate Models is a UK-based manufacturer renowned for its high-quality white metal model bus kits, primarily in 1:76 (OO) and 1:87 (HO) scales. Founded by Guy Harrison and Peter Cox in the early 1970s, the company initially focused on producing Dinky Toy replacement parts before expanding into detailed bus kits. Their offerings include a variety of British and American buses, such as the Leyland National, Bristol VRT, and GMC New Look Transit. These kits are celebrated for their precision and the satisfaction of building a model from scratch.
In the 1990s, Pirate Models was acquired by John Gay, who continued to produce and distribute these kits. However, with the rise of ready-to-run diecast models and increasing production costs, the availability of Pirate Models kits has diminished.
For enthusiasts interested in building detailed model buses, Pirate Models remains a respected name in the hobby, offering a rewarding experience for those seeking to create their own miniature vehicles.
