Plus Model was established in 1990 in the Czech Republic. Their product range is comprised primarily of 1/35th scale resin kits, conversion sets, and accessories which are vacuum cast from polyurethane plastic. The company also has a line of quality dioramas made from a special hardened gypsum. Additionally, Plus Model sells styrene sheets of varying thickness and a wide range of printed-paper 1/35th scale accessories such as scale posters, road signs, rations boxes, tents, etc..

The subject of this offering is a 1/48th scale Shed. The kit consist of laser cut wooden parts, a small sheet of card stock, and five resin parts. The resin pieces are two Jerry cans, a spoke-wheel, a fifty-five gallon drum, and a toolbox/crate. The detail on all the resin pieces is superb. The laser cut wooden sections comprise the sides, top, and floor of the shed.

If you want to add some great looking seatbelts to your next U.S. Navy fighter of the Second World War, you need to look no further than Eduard. This is my second review of Eduard Steel seatbelts, and I am still amazed at what the company is producing in photoetched products. The belts are easy enough to install for those with some photoetch experience, the only challenging part is installing the clasp on the left side seatbelt, but I would still highly recommend this set!

Coastal Kits was founded in 2011 and is based in Blackpool, Lancashire, UK. It is a family-run business that originally retailed model kits and their associated supplies. Coastal Kits began marketing their own range of display bases at the end of 2012 after their bases were well received at Telford’s Scale Model World. The Business soon decided to concentrate solely on their display base product line. The range currently exceeds 220 bases in multiple scales and subjects. They also provide custom bases upon request.

The display bases are manufactured from 3mm Foamex board which is a rigid, waterproof plastic. Laminated matte vinyl is used to print the subject with the latest odorless latex ink providing a permanent and waterproof finish. The benefit over alternatives like paper-based products is that the display will not fade, lift, or bubble.
