I went to look for accurate mins website today thinking I’d see if anything was new. The site is down and shows it expired in feb. Anyone have any info?
According to Cybermodeler, they were just accquired by MRC.
They have been done for a while now. I have not talked to John in some time so I have no idea where the molds are.

That’s really a shame. I honestly felt they were on to something with their early releases. I’ve mentioned it on the forum before, but their Avenger is IMHO the finest kit ever put to market. I’ve fortunately stockpiled them in my stash. Their Stormovik, Dauntless, Mitchell and Allison Mustangs were wonderful builds. Sure hope someone picks up the molds.
Isn’t Italeri doing the B 25’s?
Also the TBF. That’s how I was able to get one, in the Italeri boxing.
But that is good news, that MRC is acquiring AM. At least the current catalog should be available.
That is a shame - I only recently picked up my first Accurate Miniatures kit, their FW190. Beautiful kit, a re-boxing of Eduard’s if I’m not mistaken. Were they developing their own, or just re-releasing other manufacturer’s stuff?
I think the second group was doing releases of other company’s products. I think the FW 190 and the P39/400 were Eduard kits released as AM. Or I may have it backward.
If I remember right, and that’s a big if, the Vindicator was the last original AM release. Everything that came after was a rebox.
