Established in 1947 when Alf Leong's interest in aeromodelling developed into a business. Alf was a founding member of
the Hamilton Model Aero Club and was as awell-known identity in the aeromodelling fraternity. In a short period of
time the Frankton Model Shop became an established name for model enthusiasts throughout New Zealand.
In 1985, Geoff (Alf's son) returned to the family business and today the Frankton Model Shop
is managed by Geoff and Nathan Toia who has been the Sales Consultant since 1991.
