POSSIBLE 1:50TH SCALE MODEL FROM ATLAS EDITIONS?
The May edition of Model Collector magazine has arrived and carries an interview with Ian Fitzgerald from Atlas Editions. At the end of the interview Mr Fitzgerald is asked about future plans and includes the following reply ".... On top of that we'll shortly be launching our new catalogue, both online and in print, where we will offer lots of great new 'one-shot' products to run alongside our existing collections. For example, if you like our Eddie Stobart 1:76 scale model truck collection, perhaps you'd like a one-off (and satisfyingly large) 1:50 Eddie Stobart truck as well?"

I will let you know if I hear more.
