They are a family business run from home based in Scotland. I have used them countless times and they provide a top service. Very good customer service and highly recommended.

If they are anything to do with that old Scottish company I would steer well clear - I bought one of their rip-off scabby resin Pzkpfw I resin kits and it was horrendous.
In the end I took it from my stash and stamped it into the ground.
Ah, that was it Crappurate Amour
To be clear, I was referring to AMS who stock Scottcast kits. I have never built any Scottcast stuff. Just checked AMS site and they dont mention it yet, also, ref Scottcast, I did see a build where someone used the RHIENMETAL 120mm TURRET CONVERSION FOR CHALLENGER 2 (from that company) and it looked pretty good, so maybe you experienced an older defunct firm ??
If you are indeed referring to Accurate Armour, then for balance alone I must say I have a) found their products well produced and of a high quality, with good instructions, and b) their after-service excellent. If I have ever have any problem, I email, and receive a rapid acknowledgement, with say, the offer of replacement parts.
On occasion, inevitably perhaps with nature of the resin casting process, there will be the odd flaw or glitch, but as I say, I have found their responses courteous and professional.

I will second that Boots.
Any missing or missed shaped, Derek will resend, even years after buying.

Maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree? As I was trying to say it was Accurate Armour based in Glasgow? The kit was horrendous. Full of bubbles and flash. The tracks were barely recognisable.
I mean we are going back 3 decades or more but still this kit was advertised in a model magazine for £78.
Absolutely disgusting - greedy merchants
They did improved the equipment, and quality, just to keep you happy, they are now shutting down.

Firstly, you cannot judge a whole firms stock on one possible bad experience with a kit.
Secondly, they produced a lot of good kits which once the initial type of resin had been changed removed many of the issues, and often the kits they bothered to make where the only ones on the block.
Thirdly, I was able to get a first run CVRT Striker which had flaws, but was easily fixed with some basic care and knowledge.
and forth … I know a huge amount of people who loved AA stuff and rated them and their very good customer service.

And to add to the comments, AA was always one of the best for customer service, to the end. Like many, I bought a number of items in the 4 months prior to them going out of business and they even sent some missing parts that were made virtually on the last day of business (other then still trying to sell off remaining stock). And other issues I’ve had in the past 20+ years of buying from them were always rectified promptly.

Ok, but I can be the judge of my own empirical experience. Perhaps it was just a one off but these were before the days of internet and therefore things were not so easily resolved.
As for going out of business I doubt they are short of a bob or two.
Their prices were astronomical even when compared to Verlinden.
Still, out with the old and in with the new. We are spoilt for choice now
