Hobby Master is thinking of producing other lines as well as continuing what they already make. They have asked me to get your opinions and comments so they can judge which way to go or not go. So comment away, the more the better. Or if you would rather email me admin@hobbymastercollector.com Thanks for your participation in advance.

First they would like your comments specifically about the three options listed below.

The possible new line includes :
(1) 1/72 or 1/144 bombers,
(2) civilian cars, trucks, farm machines, etc. in the scale of 1/43, 1/72, 1/87.
(3) Distributors stated that 1/87 is a very popular scale in Europe playing with steam engines.
UK recommends us to consider a line without scale for kids (something like Model Power).

If you have ideas about other scales or items for them to make please add them in a separate paragraph.

I'm still waiting for someone to come up with a line of 1/400 bombers. Dragon Wings started with the B-29, but has produced nothing since. There would be a great market for it, WWII as well as modern. BTW, would that 1/144 scale be diecast?

Yes they 1/144 would be die-cast. Any thing Hobby Master makes is die-cast and I assume it will stay that way in the future.

My comments
(1) I prefer 1/72 , because of the abundance of other models in the same scale, like tanks, cars, and boats.

(2) I've seen 1/72 cars, trucks , tanks, planes, but no bus . I just had to satisfy myself with Scale OO Bus ( UK Based scale 1/76 ) to complete my diorama. But the problem is that the Scale OO is right side drive thingies, unlike my rest of 1/72 vehicles . So that's my request... left side 1/72 diecast bus.

(3) 1/87 Scale is excellent . They have cars , trucks and left side drive bus . But I'm first and foremost , a model plane collector , and there are just a very few diecast planes in 1/87 compared to 1/72 .


Hey, isn't this a political forum ( hehe )

I have enough input gathered from other sites, I want to thank the two guys who took the time to post their comments. This was a chance to actually have some input which actually would be read by a manufacturer, Hobby Master. Thanks again guys.
