Many of you out there are familiar with the aftermarket line from Steel Beach. Darren Roberts has found a niche in this hobby producing the little things that make our projects easier. For example I have in my possession a set of air intake covers for a 1:48 F-4 Phantom project I am working on that came from Steel Beach via Sprue Brothers Models.

Darren will be contributing an article in the near future about his business and how it works. For those of you who are thinking about starting up an company that produces niche products for this market, his insights might provide useful.
