Kit Form Services or KFS
for short was set up in March of 1987 by me, Howard Whitehead, a former
commercial vehicle mechanic with 20 years experience `on the spanners`.
My modelling background is much like that of most modellers, I started
as a boy of about 6 years old with my first Airfix Spitfire & well,
things just snowballed from there.
The company is still, as it always has been, a one man operation with
the odd helping of assistance from Mr`s KFS. Initially the work of KFS
revolved solely around the building of commission models for customers
in the road transport industry. It was not long before I started to
identify a definate lack of available conversion parts to make the Italeri & Revell kits (the basis of most of my commission built models)
more accurate & realistic.
The only answer therefore was to learn how to resin cast & make
the parts I needed for myself. Word got out that I was making resin
parts to convert Italeri kits at roughly the same time as the inception
of TMW magazine & before long I was advertising parts for sale on
a regular basis with fresh products coming on line almost every month.
Other like minded modellers soon made their interest known & before
long the range had expanded to include waterslide decals, photoetch
parts & imported ranges from the USA & Australia as well as
my own range of resin. Today the range is so big that KFS no longer
cast resin parts in house, everything we carry is professionaly made
for us out of house.
At this point in time KFS have taken a further step along the resin
after-market parts path by introducing the superb quality TQ
Range of cast resin items as well as maintaining the more cost effective & budget minded Standard Range. KFS
seeks to supply quality parts & modelling aids at a value for money
price from both home & abroad.
For the TQ Range we use without doubt the best resin casting company
in the country, & the UK`s top quality manufacturers for the waterslide
decals & photoetch parts. The range
is constantly changing with old parts being deleted or updated, new
parts being introduced & new foreign suppliers being sought.
I hope you enjoy the site.
