Accurascale staff Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted September 16, 2019 Accurascale staff Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2019 Hi everyone, One of the most consistent pieces of feedback we received with our recent survey was there were modellers who wanted the to see us in local model shops, so those who did not have access to the internet, or who like to fondle before they buy. It also allows us to support local trade. As a result we are now experimenting with trade, with our current in stock items now on offer to retailers as an experiment, so very soon you will be able to get PCAs, Cemflos and HUOs in OO and O in your local model shops! We have not opened this to our pre-order items and currently have no plans to, but hopefully this will allow further reach of our models and let more modellers enjoy them. Thank you to all the retailers signing up so far, and we look forward to confirming more. You can see if your local retailer has signed up here: https://accurascale.co.uk/pages/store-locator If you are a retailer who wishes to sign up, drop us a line via email! https://accurascale.co.uk/pages/contact Cheers!

Ironically I tried to purchase a computer today using Chrome and the site wasn't working but was fine with Mozilla. It was much more simple when we only had the one browser, where is Netscape Navigator. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And another way to look at it is reaching a much larger base of customers means selling a lot more models, which can only be a good thing for us. It’s also good for modellers as it can be easier for many to access some of our models and that increased reach means we can put those sales into new tooling... More announcements coming soon! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for the 92 (again, trade special commission with Rails aside), the PFA, PTA/JTA/JSA, Mark 5s and buffer stops. Cheers! Fran 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
