Special Hobby is a renowned short-run model kits manufacturer from the Czech Republic.

They offer interesting modelling subjects however from lesser known or niche topics. Due to the technology used in production of their kits, their sets require more patience and care during building and part fit might be a little subpar. Also - due to the technology limitations - they make a wide use of resin and photo etched details. Their parts count is often not very high. Those sets are aimed at more advanced and experienced modellers who have some skill working with model materials other than styrene.
