ETMODEL are a new aftermarket PE company operating from Shanghai, China.
They plan to specialize in 1:72 & 1:35 series AFV update sets and from the looks of the accompanying photos the sets will be quite comprehensive.

Armorama will have reviews of these in the near future so watch this space.

Thanks for the heads-up Pat. Too bad there's no retailer list available yet.... Frenchy

They look promising. There seems to be a profusion of new brands and lines coming out of the PRC. (taking off my editor's badge for a moment & speaking as just another consumer, not on behalf of Armorama) Price, I believe, will be their key to market penetration, since I didn't see a lot of "wow! haven't seen THAT before" sets. Just as JBModel.eu got traction by undercutting the competition, I think their best strategy is to use the labor costs in China to undersell Aber, Eduard, Voyager and Griffon. Some of the PE sets lately have gotten quite ridiculous in price. Voyager, for example, now breaks their vehicle upgrades into 2-3 sets that can really up the cost for doing the Whole Monty on a kit.

Actually I have just ordered my set for Centauro and an additional add-on armor. I can say it is excellent. I am kind of regret of not ordering the set for the Spainsh one as it is said that the Spanish one will include the Resin road wheels while my Italian Set seems not in place. Anyway, I am happy to see something alternatives than just Voyager or LionRoar, and what's more is something special.
