FAQ

No, we mostly use high quality LEGO compatible bricks from Gobrick to make our sets affordable.

If you prefer to build the models using  LEGO bricks, you can purchase the PDF instructions separately and source the required parts yourself. XML parts-list files are included and can be uploaded to BrickLink to help you find the bricks needed.

Buildarmy models are designed in the UK with a strong focus on scale, proportions and historical accuracy.

We use the real dimensions to determine the correct scale and proportions, and then recreate the vehicle as accurately as possible using building bricks based on blueprints, technical drawings, historical photographs and other reference materials.

Each model goes through digital design, prototype building and multiple rounds of refinement before production.

Current Buildarmy sets include building instructions or provide access to the digital instructions.

If you have purchased a set but cannot find or access its instructions, please contact us with your order number and product name, and we will help you.

Although our sets are checked during packing and small spare parts are included, occasional packing errors can still occur.

If you believe a piece is missing, please first check the bags, packaging and surrounding pieces carefully, as smaller elements can sometimes become hidden underneath other parts.

If the piece is genuinely missing, contact us with your order number, set name and the part required. We will arrange a replacement.

Absolutely. We are always interested in suggestions.

Our main focus is historically significant military vehicles, aircraft, figures and equipment from the Second World War to the modern era. Suggestions from collectors also help us understand which subjects have the strongest demand.

You can send your suggestions through Instagram @buildarmy or our contact page.

You can directly chat with Dr. Ruibin Zhang, the chief designer and owner of Buildarmy on Instagram @buildarmy. He is super busy but would reply to all messages, from questions, suggestions to casual topics like Lego techniques and WW2 history.
