hey, just wondering where you guys all seem to get the latest info on what manufacturers are releasing or will be releasing ?

thanks

Sometimes we check websites of retailers or dealers. More often than not they are usually upto date when it comes to new releases and posts them to attract early buyers or reservations.

You can also try to check the websites of the manufacturer themselves.

I check out the hobby mags here in Japan, like Hobby Japan, Model Graphix, Armour Modelling, and Model Art.

Military Miniatures in Review (Ampersand Publishing) is also a good source of new and upcoming releases.

For a lot of it you can just monitor the various forums. It’s like “six degrees of seperation” Somebody always knows somebody in the business. Like I just happened to be talking to one of the girls who works for Meteor Productions and she was able to give me a price and availiblity for the He-111 conversion - about $70.00 and availible (hopefully) this month. Dave has been working very hard on it.

Some of the online model retailers, like greatmodels.com also send out weekly newsletters regarding releases as well…

Ask for a catalog from squadron, and every month they have a decent selection of recent kits and miniatures and publications.

I read FSM, Scale Aircraft Modeler & the Squadron releases. I get Hobby Japan, Japan Hobby and Scale Graphix when I can, but I can’t read Japanese ( yet!). J-Hulk, I envy you!!
