Welcome to GreatNews! The year 2003 is starting with a "Bang" as you will quickly notice from the new releases: The "hot" items of the week were Tamiya 1/35 T-55A and Marder III Shells. Accurate Miniatures also surprised us with the re-release of the 1/48 SBD-5 Dauntless expected early next week. The B-25s are also available from the same company, and we are glad that this kit was finally re-released as we were almost out of these beautiful replicas. Hasegawa released another batch of new kits including a 1/48 Bf.109F-4 Trop and Spitfire Mk.VIII US Army. Car Modelers will be glad to see the Tamiya 1/24 Enzo Ferrari, two new 1/6 scale motorcycles Honda CB750 and CB 750 OHC and many other releases from Fujimi, Aoshima, and Playing Mantis (Polar Light). One decal to be pointed out is the Xtradecals on the 1/48 Hornet for the two best sellers Classic Airframes kits. Trumpeter also released the highly expected 1/72 F-107A and we restocked the incredible 1/350 USS Hornet. Other interesting releases should be noticed like the new AJ Press, Militaria in Detail, or Wydawnictwo books. Italeri also released a 1/12 F-16 Cockpit, 1/48 S-3A Viking and two 1/72 figure sets Cossack Cavalry and Union Artillery. GreatModels has now "dropped" the Imex 1/18-1/35 Display cases due to the impossibility to receive or ship these products without damage to the thin cases. We have received many "Special Orders" lines during the week: Lone Star Models, DES kits, Verlinden production, SAM Publication books (still waiting for a "lost box"), and Milicast to name a few. We are also expecting many more lines from foreign suppliers. We have finally received the ENTIRE 'Naval Series' paint line from Testors. Ship Modelers will be pleased with this Acrylic line, especially considering the many wooden ships arriving at GMW next week. GreatModels now stocks over 20,275 products for the static modelers, and over 8,000 R/C products. The overall database now includes over 100,000s products to choose from. You might have noticed our new pricing policy, involving deeper discounts for products "not in stock" and expensive products (over $200). It looks like many modelers have started to take advantage of these aggressive prices as our January sales are even better than our record-breaking December! We appreciate your continued support of GreatModels and hope that we provided a spotless service during this past holiday season.
