About Us
About Alex's Model Shop
Alex's Model Shop was founded by Alex Kasilov, a passionate collector with many years of experience in the Swiss hobby community. What started as a personal obsession with hand-crafted miniatures has grown into a mission: to give Swiss collectors access to the world's finest model cars — without the hassle of international ordering.
Why AMS exists
For years, Swiss collectors had no dedicated local source for premium model cars. Ordering from German retailers meant customs procedures, shipping delays, and prices in euros. We believed collectors deserved better — so we built it.
AMS is based in Bern, Switzerland. Every model is personally curated. Every description is written by someone who genuinely cares about the hobby.
What we carry
We specialise in three tiers of collecting:
- New Releases — Fresh from the manufacturer, with original packaging and certificate
- Pre-Orders — Secure your limited edition before it sells out
- Used & Rarities — Carefully inspected discontinued and hard-to-find models
Our featured brands are CMC Classic Model Cars, Exoto, and BBR Models — the gold standard in precision diecast at 1:18 and 1:12 scale.
Our promise
- CHF pricing — no currency conversion surprises
- No customs charges for Swiss customers
- Honest, transparent condition grading on every used model
- Insured Swiss Post delivery on every order
- Personal support from someone who knows the hobby
Every used model at AMS is individually graded using our standardised condition system. → Read our condition grading guide
