REFO-TECH Modellbau, located in Miesbach, Germany, is the name that stands for looking at things differently. And that is what it is all about when making scale models. Because the secret of a miniature lies only in the size at first glance. Discovering the big in the small is a much more important skill.
The fascination grows with every detail of a model. As far as possible, the scale model may only differ in size from the original.
The art of model building does not lie in reducing the scale, but in the ability to interpret. Preserving the character of an original requires one's own dimensional discretion. Corrective interventions in the proportions of the object must be as minimal as possible. The result: YOUR MODEL MORE ORIGINAL THAN NEVER BEFORE!
