accurate miniatures

 yea, sold the name and everything.  but the quality is still there.

odd...i thought they were a korean company.  Reguardless, glad to know they are back.

centerdeck, the company is based in NC, but all the molding is done in Korea. When I requested a missing decal a couple years ago, they were deleyed in sending it to me because it was the time when the Vindicator was coming out, and they had to unload shipping containers of plastic parts and hand stuffing the boxes. I thought that was pretty interesting! But, Accurate Miniatures is in business, and from what I can see, they will be for a long time!

I recall they did have a going out of business sale several years ago in 2001. They were selling bagged kits, decals, bomb loads, etc. I picked up a couple of their Mustangs and SBDs as well as a torpedo for my Avenger. I remember their goodbye posting in the old RMS newsgroup.

Here is a thread announcing their return in 2003: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.models.scale/browse_thread/thread/1205f296cb678c76/26b54185bed3e5bd?lnk=gst&q=accurate+miniatures&rnum=6#26b54185bed3e5bd

They are still around. I did a show about a month a go and their booth was next to mine. I had dinner with them a few times and talked about all the new stuff coming out.

They're coming out with a P-400 and an F2G Super Corsair in racing colors in September. They also recently re-released some neat old 1/72 kits from Monogram.
