Model Empire is a longstanding hobby shop that has been a fixture in the West Allis community for over 30 years. This family-owned business offers a vast selection of model kits, including hard-to-find monster models, military, movie, and car and truck models, as well as a wide range of diecast vehicles in various scales. The store also features a slot car racing track, where customers can enjoy club racing on Tuesday nights. In addition to models and slot cars, Model Empire carries a variety of hobby supplies, such as paint, airbrush kits, and train sets and accessories. The knowledgeable staff and welcoming atmosphere make this shop a must-visit destination for hobbyists and collectors alike, offering a unique in-store experience that is becoming increasingly rare in the age of e-commerce.

I ordered the MPC ‘36 Wild One Modified through Model Empire Inc. on Amazon and could not be more happy with my purchase and the condition it arrived. It arrived early and the box in perfect unopened condition. Recommend and will be ordering again.

I have been going there since I was a child. Hadn't been there about 10 or 15 years. Way before the pandemic. I love it nothing has changed. I have always collected cars for my other half. He was so excited.
