For the Grand Opening of the HOPE Model Shop in Hinwil
Last Thursday, on Aarauerstrasse in Schöffland, Peter Hochuli’s model-making shop—which has been in business for several years and is known as HOPE—moved to larger premises, and the expanded store was officially opened. Previously, the premises had been used by Mrs. Hochuli-Edelmann for the grocery store she ran for many years.
Where vegetables, canned meat, cookies, and soup mixes were once stored, a wide variety of model kits, model airplane engines, and remote controls are now on display. And where housewives once chatted about their children and cooking, young men and adults now discuss the technical intricacies of a high-performance model.
The fast shipping service, highly valued by out-of-town customers, satisfies buyers in no time.
Anyone familiar with the development of this new specialty store and the owners behind it—who has observed its beginnings and growth and marveled at today’s diverse product range—knows that a well-established business with highly qualified staff has opened here.

The former treasurer and equipment manager of the Schöffland Model Aircraft Club, founded in 1960, has now become a businessman who employs his brother at his business, which features a showroom, office, and repair service. Over 160 kits for a wide variety of models—for flying, driving, and swimming—equipped with state-of-the-art remote controls and high-performance small engines are available to customers from all over Switzerland. The product lineup even includes in-house developed model aircraft that have successfully passed testing. As a result, every purchase is accompanied by expert advice, which is reflected in the high demand and the steady flow of business with satisfied customers. The company’s own comprehensive HOPE model-building catalog guides both beginners and experts toward finding exactly what they’re looking for.
