The 2010 USA IPMS Nationals is on the immediate horizon and our mate Pavel Vacata, owner/operator of Admiralty Model Works has announced a new marketing and release strategy to coincide with this event.

In essence Admiralty Model Works 2010 strategy is that modellers who are able to attend the 2010 USA IPMS Nationals will get to see the new items there and everyone else who cannot will need to be patient.

This year Admiralty Model Works will make the kits available through the website before the 2010 USA IPMS Nationals and so those who order early will receive them approximately the same time as those going to the 2010 USA IPMS Nationals.

So, all the items will be on the website at www.Admiraltymodel works.com for ordering from Friday 30th of July, 2010. It is expected that the busy Staff at Admiralty Model Works will be processing orders while Mr. Pavel Vacata is attending the 2010 USA IPMS Nationals.
