As the market for 1/87 scale model vehicles has continued to develop over the past several years it has offered new opportunities to hobbyists from both the manufacturers' viewpoint and the modelers' perspective. We find it especially encouraging when fellow modelers share their expertise by offering kits of their models for sale. We are very pleased to announce just such a new enterprise, Jacobs Models. The driving force behind Jacobs Models is Canadian modeler Jim Groeneweg. You might recognize Jim's name (and indeed, some of the models above) from his contributions to our Photo Gallery sections. We wish Jim the best of luck in his endeavor! Check the New Products section for a look at the current kit offerings. [posted 01/13/2001]
