 Hobby Master Takes the Lead
It takes a certain measure of courage to try something new when you could just as easily play it safe by hanging back with the tried-and-true. In the case of Hobby Master, the company is sticking its neck out by offering a pair of diminutive armored fighting vehicles that others might have easily ignored. Due out in January, the first vehicle is a US-built M8 light armored car (HG3801) while the second, a derivative of the M8, will be an M20 armored car (HG3802). Offered in the standard olive drab pattern of the World War II era US Army, these small but important players in mid-twentieth century mobile warfare will likely be greeted with great fanfare when they usher in the New Year....[posted 11/14/2008]
 Hobby Master Takes Aim at the R/C Market
In an effort to broaden its appeal and court remote control veterans, Hobby Master has announced their intent to dabble once again in the R/C market.

 Hobby Master Kicks it up Another Notch
Seemingly on a perpetual roll, Hobby Master will reportedly come out with even more diecast military aircraft and vehicles this summer. On the ground, tank commanders can wrap their mitts around a 1:72 scale rendition of the M46 Patton tank, which is regaled in a tiger striped pattern to scare North Korean regulars during the Korean War. Likewise, Hobby Master's second version of the Chaffee light tank will be painted in a similar pattern, making them a potent one-two punch on the diecast battelfield.
In the air, aviation buffs can lay claim to a 1:48 scale Mk XVIII Supermarine Spitfire, which was used with great distinction during the Korean Conflict. Also taking wing will be a 1:72 scale German F-4F Phantom fighter-bomber, a third take on the Japanese Nakajima B5N2 Kate level bomber, and a French SBD-5 Dauntless dive-bomber. On a personal note, its truly amazing to see a relative newcomer such as Hobby Master beating the pants off of some of the more entrenched favorites, continually beating them to the punch by listening to their collecting constituency...[posted 6/10/2008]
