Great News for Customers of Williams Brothers Model Products!
2010- this is the
50th anniversary of the Williams
Brothers product line, whose company was founded in 1960!! We
continue our efforts to bring the 18 model aircraft kits, and
4 detailed engine kits, back to production. We hope to accomplish
that this year if all goes to plan. From there, we have some new
products we're working on and hope to see this year as well.
We sure do appreciate all of those who stuck
by us in the early days of our entry to this product line, and
we are happy to be able to supply our customers with the products
they need. We continue to work hard and strive to keep this
product line alive and well and Made in the USA.

News!!
Production
back to full swing!!
We have been working hard to catch up on production and have made LOT of parts the past few months. 99+% of the backorders are now wiped out, and our focus is to keep up with the orders, and actually to pull ahead and have a build up of inventory once again. Our goal is fast fill and 100% complete!!
10/18/11- NEW PRODUCT! SpitFire Wheels!!
In working with DB Sport & Scale in Wales, we have developed a new wheel that takes Williams Brothers beyond the Golden Age, and into WWII. The new wheel is based on the British 4 spoke design, and should work well within the realm of approximate 1/5 scale aircraft, although not limited to that. It has a two piece hub design that allows for a hidden wheel collar to hold them on, and a pair should easily support a 30lb model.
Specs: 4-3/4" diameter; axle- 3/16" diameter (can be drilled to 1/4"), Hub Diameter- 2"; Tire width- 1-1/2", Weight- <13oz per pair.
Part Number 19400, MSRP = $74.95/pair.
10/18/11-The 1/3 Scale Vintage Wheel
We don't give up easy! In our constant search for a machine shop willing to work with us, we may have actually found the one we're looking for to get this project driven to completion! As of now, the Tyre mold has been cut,polished, and delivered to us! Yippie- 1 down, 2 to go. We are now moving forward on getting the first hub mold done!! The plan is to have a Palmer style hub and Fokker style hub, which both use the same tyre size. We are making the effort to improve the scale look of the hubs as well, and move away from the generic wheel as was done for so many years. Scale folks demand more, and we intend to do our best to deliver!
For those not aware of this project, we are also asking for your support in a pre-buy program to get this project done. Molds are quite the expense to make, and in order for little guys like us to build up the needed funds quicker, we are offering the chance to buy them at a reduced price. The first wave was very much responisble for getting this project off the ground, and we greatly appreciate the support pre-buyers gave us!! The wheels will List at $99.95/pair when they go into production. However, we will take a pre-buy order (payment is made on receipt of order) for $69.95/pair. This offer will continue until the first wheel rolls off the assembly line!
10/18/11- The Lost Electra is Back!
Due to popular demand, we have made another production run of The Lost Electra kit. So, if you missed out the first time around, here's your 2nd chance. And, yes, we were able to secure another group of original 1963 Amelia Earhart Air Mail Stamps to include with the kit. That is a limited out-of-production item that we can't control, so grab one while you can! Explore one of the most amazing challenges in flight history by one of Aviation's greatest figures.
