Toni Clark practical scale

Dear Modeler,

The name TONI CLARK stands for excellence in scale aero models. Experience shows that the average hobby modeler is able to assemble them with ease, and fly them with pleasure.

We are a direct marketing company, this is the reason we can offer the finest quality products at very competitive prices.

What is it that makes our kits so good?

  • Ribs, formers and other shaped parts are either CNC milled with a high frequency spindle running at 60,000 rpm or profile belt sanded to shape. There is no ragged die stamping with our kits, or the charred edges from a laser cutter.
  • We carefully select all Balsa and timber at the log and finished stage. Paired parts are matched for weight and hardness.
  • Before we commence production the prototype is exhaustively tested.
  • Our kits are really complete, spinners, tanks wheels, control linkages and so on, you need only glue and covering material.
  • We use not only standard self tapping screws but expensive Hex socket screws with safety nuts where we consider these to be necessary.
  • You can of course ring us when you come up against a problem which is causing you difficulty. Tel. (0049) 5741 5035

2016

Sadly, after a short but severe illness, our founder, Toni Clark, passed away on June 5th., at age 81. He will always be missed, and his memory fondly respected, by the entire staff of, Toni Clark practical scale GmbH. I shall continue to manage the company, as I have done for many years.

2018

Paolo Severin retired and from now on the Paolo Severin Super Scale Kits are produced by Toni Clark practical scale in Luebbecke: “Italian design made in Germany“.

2019

Gerhard Reinsch and René Neumann are now managing directors with equal rights. René has also been a model pilot since early childhood, Bachelor of Engineering and has been my right-hand man since 2011.

2020

Gerhard Reinsch died on August 07 at the age of 64 years, because of a serious illness. Gerds purpose in life was the company Toni Clark and so he decided early on that Renè Neumann should lead the company Toni Clark practical scale GmbH in his interest.
