BIGCAT MODELISMO is a specialist online model shop based in Maceda-Ovar, Portugal, operated by StrongEmpire, Lda. The site clearly states that it accepts “online orders only.” It mainly sells plastic model kits, modeling tools, paints, diorama materials, figures, model trains, Diecast vehicles, and related books and magazines, targeting model enthusiasts and collectors.
Judging by its category structure, BIGCAT’s strength lies in its high level of specialization. It offers dedicated sections for aircraft, military and civilian vehicles, racing cars, ships, sci-fi, trains, scenery, decals, photo-etched parts, airbrushing, and weathering materials. The site supports account registration, shopping cart, order history, wishlists, shipping and billing address management, as well as new arrivals, promotions, brand browsing, and a newsletter. The checkout flow covers identification, address, shipping, payment, and confirmation, making it suitable for standard B2C e-commerce purchases.
Products are displayed in euros, with prices including IVA. The site also states that its prices apply only to online purchases and may change depending on stock and content updates. Orders to Portugal and mainland Spain qualify for free shipping over €75, and there is also a gift promotion for orders over €100. Payment options are relatively comprehensive, including prepaid bank transfer, cash on delivery, PayPal, and credit or debit cards.
The advantages are its professional model-focused catalog, broad coverage of accessories and consumables, transparent tax-inclusive pricing, and a 14-day right to withdraw from the purchase agreement. The drawbacks are that inventory is not necessarily locked in real time, and an order only becomes an agreement after confirmation by the merchant. If an item is out of stock, the merchant will contact the customer within 15 days. The text does not provide detailed information on international shipping coverage or delivery times, and it notes that product images may not fully correspond to the actual items. Return-related shipping costs are borne by the customer.
BIGCAT MODELISMO is better suited to model hobbyists in Portugal, mainland Spain, and Europe who need specialist kits and consumables. It is also suitable for individual collectors of Diecast vehicles and model trains. The available text does not disclose any commission structure or onboarding rules for third-party sellers, so it should not be treated as an open marketplace platform. Access from China is not mentioned in the text and is therefore unknown.
