Special Hobby is a well-known Czech manufacturer of short-run plastic model kits.

In their offer there are interesting models, but with themes that are definitely more niche. Due to the technology used in the production of the models, the kits are characterized by a slightly inferior fit of parts and quite extensive use of resin and photo-etched parts. They usually do not overwhelm with the number of parts. They are aimed at advanced modelers with some skill in machining add-ons from materials other than plastic.
