Title: Masterpiece Models
Post by: GTX_Admin on April 04, 2013, 07:35:59 PM: An interesting company i came across recently.

I am especialy interested in some of their services here: http://www.masterpiecemodels.com/ (http://www.masterpiecemodels.com/)

They also produce some very interesting kits: http://www.masterpiecemodels.com/kits/ (http://www.masterpiecemodels.com/kits/)

I especially like their 1/35 United States Navy Patrol Air Cushion Vehicle:

As well as some of their Scifi kits.

See attached image below (for the box top). A very nice little logistics asset :)

*Edit to fix missing image - original Masterpiece Models web link is now unavailable with the claim that the page is currently "under construction" which caused the original hot-linked image to disappear.

Nope. If anything it will be loaded up with gear but not for WW2.

That could have been FinsRin this morning when the sales clerk had to use a hand truck to move his purchases out to his car :)
