Max Models

   

I started MaxModels last year to market display bases for aircraft models. I just think that a model looks it's best in some sort of context, and a base is a simple way of adding that context.  I now have bases representing concrete runway/ramp sections available in 1/72 and 1/48 scale, and am still planning on getting both WWII and modern carrier decks out there.

 

I've also ventured into the world of decals.  One of my all time favorite modeling themes is captured aircraft operated and evaluated by the allies in WWII.  My first two releases are just that.  Dying Sun 1 and Dying Sun 2 feature a number of Japanese aircraft operated and evaluated by the US and Great Britain.  Both of these sheets are reprinted in cooperation with Rising Decals after their very popular releases of them have been out of print for several years.  If these sheets do well, I will be looking hard at releasing sheets of original subjects.  The variety of German subjects in Allied hands is especailly broad and enticing.  And of course, there may be other subjects that look like good possibilities.

 

And finally, I've also begun to venture into aftermarket parts.  Like many product ideas, my first release will be from a personal project.  I am aiming to have an accurate resin replacement wing for the Hasegawa 1/72 P-51B done for release at the 2012 IPMS-USA Nationals.
