A HUGE image update sent from across the pond from U-Models, France!
For those modelers not yet familiar with U-Models,, this is a young and fresh model manufacturer based in France, concentrating upon 1/35 scale resin reproductions of extremely unique proportions.

The company was first formed in September of 2005, owned and operated by Rodolphe Roussille, and his line of fine resin scale productions has grown considerably since!

U-models focuses on brand new themes such as, for example, marine amphibious theme in 1/35th scale.
The company prides itself on accuracy and originality, recreating it's subjects from original pictures and documentations, some taking years of research to complete!
Rod has sent us a plethera of photo's of his new and upcoming releases. Thanks Rod!

Hi Guys, Yip they make some great stuff. I was in touch with Rodolphe last night about a few items for the Pier 51 LOL, LOL. I see my skipper for the British Boat LOL. They don't have a UK distributor yet which is a pity, but I made the link to Netmerchants so they might be able to work something out as not all of us use credit cards and organising money orders and stuff is a real pain. Their USN figures are good too. I spotted them some time ago and had throught about them for the US Boat LOL,LOL. Cheers Al
