Modern Hobbies LLC® is THE place for all you fellow "Small Scale" jet modelers out there. Are you looking for rare, hard to find items to outfit your modern military
aircraft? Then you came to the right place! I'll begin with a little intro about myself... I am a scale modeler, just like you, who was tired of the limited selection of
resin accessories in 1/72nd scale. Especially with modern-era subjects. I'm a proud member of the IPMS/USA Indianapolis Roscoe Turner Chapter, and have won
many "Best of Class", First, Second & Third place awards in the "1/72 Jet" category: including the IPMS/USA Region 4, 2003 Convention. I have had models featured
in FineScale Modeler Magazine® and several articles published on ARC (The Aircraft Resource Center®) featuring my latest creations. My goal here at Modern Hobbies
LLC® is to provide fellow 1/72nd scale modern-era aircraft modelers with good, quality resin accessories that you actually want, AND that no other manufacturers will
do in our scale. We utilize the latest in resin casting supplies and methods including; vacuum and pressure. I use slow setting, ultra-thin viscosity polyurethane resin
by Smooth-On; that yields bubble-free parts. My accessories are tough too, and not brittle like other after-market examples. So, stay a while, explore the navigation
bar, the site and pick up something you need! You can drop me a line anytime via email (gwilliamsin@aol.com), join "The Ready Room", the official Modern Hobbies
LLC® Blog, or use the Contact Us page. Tell me what you think!

News and New Products

Sniper Pod is back and available again!
A new mold had to be made for our Sniper Pod set after over 150 sold! The
first mold was literally broke! It's definitely a hot item here at Modern Hobbies
and orders for the set are still coming in. A few customers orders were
delayed as a result of the set being unavailable. We apologise for the delay
and we will compensate you for the inconvenience and the wait. *All product
molds have been replaced and are ready for continued ordering!
JHMCS Helmet 1st cast!
The 1st casting is out of the mold and duplicates are being made for the set!
Compared to other masters I have made, this tiny helmet was a challenge, but
I got it done for ya. As previously mentioned, the JHMCS helmet set will
include 5 detailed 1/72nd scale resin helmets and 5 pieces of 24 gauge wire
to simulate the oxygen hoses. 1 set for $3.00. This is another "first" for
1/72nd scale and it's available no where else in the world...except here at
Modern Hobbies! Add this item to your list of buys...its coming very soon!
Check out the photos on the right!
