The new kit releases for the year demonstrates the value of of the market and the loyalty of the customers.

The scale models industry is continuing to output more sophisticated kits to meet the demands of serious modelers. Kits such as those from ZOUKEI-MURA, INC and their SuperWingSeries and the Wingnut Wing series producing outstanding WW1 models represent the latest trend in high detail kits. Photo-etched add-ons and custom decals have helped to personalize the build for each modeler's effort and this will continue to feed the drive for more kit advances. I'm excited about where the scale model market is going and looking forward to increasing the variety.
