Hey guys, after working through my unimodel kit of the Gaz MM and enjoying it quite a lot, i was wondering what other manufacturers are out there for plastic kits in 1/48

i know that RPM? are doing a model t ford ambulance, and one of those i will pick up for certain.
AFV Club
Hobbyboss
Tamiya
Hasegawa do a few cars?

So who's a new or obscure face in the 1/48th world??

Hi James

You can take a look at Quarter Kit webstore to have an idea about what's available...

ICM, Italeri, Airfix, Bandai,

I think there's more resin then plastic currently

Here's hoping Bronco enters soon

Hey Anthony, I have been pottering around the track 48 site for a few days, but i guess ordering from europe would invite less hassle from customs!!

For various Brit trucks and airfield stuff, nothing even remotely comes close to Accurate Armour, ignore the high prices in confidence: They are worth every penny:
