Who Are DBMK?
DBMK is a model company founded by East Kent Scale modeller Will and his Ukrainian colleague Ilya. Their aim is to;
- Produce highly accurate kits that also build properly
- Bring overlooked or underrepresented subjects to life
Will has been modelling since the 1970s, later studying aeronautical engineering and serving as a tank commander in the British Army. He now works in London as a management consultant — but modelling has always remained at the core of his passion.
Ilya began modelling in Ukraine in 1975 and has worked with respected brands including SIGA, Olimp Models, Armory and Copper State Models. He also served in Afghanistan during the 1980s, giving him a deep, first-hand connection to military subjects.

The DBMK 1:32 Sea Fury has already featured heavily on this blog - my colleagues at East Kent have built a number of the test shots. The kit was recently 'officially' launched at the RNAS Yeovilton 'Navy Wings' hangar in the presume of various modelling alumni and here are a few images..
