September 2005

The 1st September 2005 is Automodelli studio's 1st birthday, although the website was not up and running until a little later. The first year has been very much a learning curve and we have had a few hiccups along the way but we have survived and are heading in the right direction now.

Whilst we will continue to supply kits and factory built models from other manufacturers we will pursue our own range of kits and built models in the 'Classic Road Car' and 'Historic Racing Car' ranges, the first of which, a Chevron BB, is in the process of having the moulds made and the decals printed now, and should be ready fo release around the end of October.

The second of our releases in association with Marsh Models will follow shortly afterwards and will in fact be a series of 5 models of the famous AC/Shelby Cobras, the 260 Mk, 289 Mk2, 289 Mk3, 427 & 427SC These are still in the prototype stage at the moment but we hope to have samples in the near future.

August has been a very quiet month in the model business mainly due to the holiday season in Europe where most of the manufactureres reside but I'm sure they will make up for it in September.

This month sees a new supplier on board from Germany, one of the oldest that is still in the business. Tin Wizard have been around since the early '80s, and now have a large range covering many subjects not only in 1/43 scale. In their range you will find not only German vehicles but also those from Scandinavia and some from the UK, USA, Spain, France and Italy. Automodelli studio is the sole importer of Tin Wizard products in Australia, take a look at their website Tin Wizard. there are some very unusual models.

If there is a particular vehicle you are looking for and can not find, please contact us and if we can not find it then maybe we can have it made to be included in one of our ranges.
