Minor Models from Spain.  This company has some very impressive photo-etched brass detail sets and conversion sets for 1:48 scale (O Gauge), 1:35th scale, and 1:24th scale models. 

They have also thoughtfully provided on-line links for their instructions in pdf format for some of their more complicated kits in addition to a lot of supporting images for each kit.   

An example of the level of detail is shown in the image below:

The small "omega" shaped object in front of the radio sets is a key set for tapping out Morse code while mounted to the leg of the radio operator which is amazing detail in 1:35th scale.

Minor & AGV models are doing a collaboration under the title of "BSM" to do some 1/35th kits ....

Nice stuff. :)

Minor point of order, 'O Scale' and 'O Gauge' are not the exactly same thing and 'O Scale' is only 1:48
in the US, in the UK and Europe it is generally 1:43.5, but in France it can also be 1:45.
RR modelers are so complicated.  ;D
