Mark58 is a french manufacturer specialized in aircraft display bases and airfield structures. The range of products available is simply amazing with well over 100 references in all scales which cover every era in aviation history. Mark58 have just launched their official website: Mark58.

Totally agree that Mark 58 stuff is really good and worth its price

To add a bit to what Jean-Luc posted here are some pix:







This is Jean-Luc's diorama, who designed much of the Africa stuff now available at Mark 58:



Two models of yours truely on Mark 58 plates:





And there are also such things as a tend in the Mark 58 programme:



not to forget my WIP on one of the Mark58 Shelter types:

P.S. If you think I am advertizing Marc's stuff .. you are right .. but just because this is good, I win nothing with that

Truly amazing bases. my only problem would being able to do them justice with my (sometimes lacking) painting and weathering abilities

I would love some of these bases for my collection - especially my German WWII birds. The only problem is that he only accepts Paypal.
I had some problems with Paypal in the past and deleted my paypal account. Do you know any internet stores selling Mark 58 products where I can obtain them?

Hi Jesper

sorry I missed you first question. Why don't you just contact Marc. I think bank transfer (SWIFT, IBAN, BIC) is no problem, as this should be without fees inside Europe.

I am pretty satisfied with paypal ..but I do not need to get money over this medium. I have read it is pretty expensive.

all the best

Steffen

Hi Allen and Jesper,

If you are interested in some of the products made by Mark58, like Steffen, I would suggest you to contact Marc Toillié directly via e-mail. He will give you any information you need. Allen, Mark58 also sells already painted bases but, really, painting them is so easy! Again, only a wash is needed.

These bases open up a whole new catagory of possibilities to modeling. They are really great pieces. I've been looking at his website and I'm really impressed. Just wish I could read French!

You don't have to. At the left, there is a menu bar with three flags. If you want to have the text in English, just click on the appropriate one:
