Robbe Models

Robbe models are a complete term in itself and refer to models produced by model manufacturing company Robbe. One of the oldest RC models producing companies in the world, this firm was started by a farmer named Robert Becker in 1924 and is named after his nickname, 'Robbe'. Initially at the time of starting, Robbe models were simple timber models made out of balsa wood. By the year 1945, RC models had made an appearance and though they did not catch on immediately, Robert's son saw an opportunity. Robbe soon began manufacturing RC Kits made from balsa wood, and this is what the term Robbe models is popularly associated with today.

During the 50s, the RC Model Kits industry saw an unprecedented boom as the economy was flourishing and people had more money to spend on hobbies. In 1960, Robbe tied up with a Japanese company to manufacture their own RC systems. These later became the world's largest selling RC systems. This collaboration made Robbe a leading name in the world of RC manufacturing and Robbe models, an even bigger one. Soon the company decided to sell their RC models worldwide.

Today, you can find almost every vehicle amongst Robbe models and if you are a fan of marine vehicles, then you must already be familiar with their kits or ready to sail models of boats, ships and submarines. The reason for this is because Robbe specializes in marine models, they have been selling model boats ever since 1945. Apart from ready models, Robbe model kits are also very popular. In fact, the first RC models sold by Robbe were kits of boats and since then, Robbe models have become almost synonymous with boat models.

There are some special stores where you can race your models as well as get training and assistance in operating them.
