The guys over at Miniwing have have launched a new website www.kits-shop.com stocking not only their range of kits, but also a wide range of Czech based manufacturers.

Currently Miniwing and FLY are the only 1/144 brands, but if you fancy branching out there are other scales available from the other manufacturers.

It is early days for the site, but be sure to keep checking back for new ranges and products as the site develops.

The best bit of all is that worldwide postage is free!

1/144 'Creations Chaubet' Website Sale

20% Price Reduction
Free postage on orders of 150 Euro

Jacques does a great line in 1/144 kits in white metal.
Whilst his range covers WWII to the Modern Day, my favourites are the early French jet protoypes! (Here) or maybe you fancy a Mistel or Magister

Certainly some very nice looking kits that you would not currently find anywhere else!

It is worth reqesting a price list as these kits are availble as kit or built!
