New/Old Model car kit and accessory web site comming soon

[Pete J.]

I was at Eagle Quest this weekend and there was an interesting announcement. Squadron/MMD who are well know as a distributor and web site for all things Military announced that they will be creating a separate web site, "Route 66", dedicated strictly to all things automotive.

I don't know much about it at this point but I have to say, it is about time! They have a great web site if you want tanks and planes and ships, but the automotive end has always been a bit of a "dark corner" type of operation. I hope it will now become a solid place to go to for automotive models.

They already have a relation with a lot of the companies such as Tamiya, Hasagawa, Revell and Testors and aftermarket sellers such as Scale Motorsport, KA, Pegasus and others. So getting this up and running as far as stock should not be an issue. I just hope they can expand the line and provide as broad a range of products for automotive subjects as they can for military subjects.
