Marco Polo 1999 RCHTA Report

By Michael Benolkin

Well, the sign says it all. The folks at Marco Polo have a deal in-place with Hasegawa that ensures that you'll see the latest Hasegawa kits on your shelves before they are available from Japanese sources. Coming up very soon is the 1/48 Hs129B-2 Tank Buster. Also on display with Marco were some of the limited re-issue series, including a new 1/48 VIP VH-3 Sea King helicopter. Marco Polo also provides participating shops with the 'Advanced Scout' program, which allows you to see and examine new kits weeks before they are formally released. If your hobby shop doesn't participate in this program, try to get them aboard so you can see the 'good stuff'.
