Now, there are no selling links as of yet, and these products are in the final stages of development, but we can show you three of Galaxy Models new ranges today in a preview...

First of all, the starting of a new cockpit accessory range, with the F-16 Viper's ejection seat 3-D printed form in 1/48th scale. This set serves to give us a lot more detail than many off the shelf (in the box) seats. This looks like the first in a series...
The second set of items are the first(!) of a new series of deck crew members to assist your new pilots for fast carrier jet operations. They are suited for the US Marines & Navy. There are nine figures in this initial set, and more are promised. Galaxy Models are working on five more sets of groundcrews for your fast jets!!!

3D printed figurine product of the U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier Catapult Launch Team - expected to go on sale in mid-July..
The last but not least of the three new release categories re the bases for your kit to sit upon...
These textured bases have ground features in them, so they look more 3-D than just a flat card base. Several types, from carrier decks, to holding bays, to aprons of airfields are represented. 
A lighter and a darker wood for the frame of the base are optioned.
The box these bases will arrive in.
The dimensions of the bases - as you can see , are pretty large. The little fabric feet enable a level and safe base.
The bases are pretty big!  - as you can see with these two buddying up on the same base as an example...
