Without a doubt, Hobby Master has become the preeminent maker of finished diecast military aircraft. All you have to do is peruse their monthly release schedule to see just how many models they have in the works vis-a-vis other model makers. I think you’ll agree that they are not only in this to stay but to win in virtually every high-flying category save perhaps WWI fighters, drones and perhaps rotary-wing aircraft. And, its just a matter of time before these categories too become the stomping grounds of this behemoth, forcing others to scramble for the scraps.
That said, here’s what you can look forward to ogling and hopefully owning next summer:
