Woodstock, GA — AFV Hobby Hub Inc. has announced a new partnership with IBG Models, becoming an official United States distributor for the respected kit manufacturer. As part of this agreement, AFV Hobby Hub will support both wholesale distribution to retailers and direct-to-consumer retail sales through AFVHobbyHub.com, expanding access to IBG Models’ diverse lineup across the U.S. market.
The announcement marks another important step in AFV Hobby Hub’s continued growth, reinforcing its mission to provide hobbyists and retailers with reliable access to high-quality scale modeling products.
Expanding Access to IBG Models
IBG Models is widely recognized for its well-engineered kits, historical accuracy, and unique subject selection, particularly in military vehicles, soft-skin transport, and artillery. The brand has built a strong reputation among enthusiasts for producing subjects that are often underrepresented in the modeling world.
With AFV Hobby Hub now serving as a U.S. distributor, customers can expect greater availability, faster delivery, and easier access to IBG’s expanding catalog.
“We’re proud to partner with IBG Models and bring their outstanding range of kits to the U.S. market,” said a representative from AFV Hobby Hub Inc. “Their focus on quality and unique subjects makes them a perfect fit for our growing portfolio.”
Dual-Channel Distribution: Wholesale and Retail
A key element of this partnership is AFV Hobby Hub’s ability to serve both business and individual customers. By offering IBG Models through wholesale and retail channels, the company is creating a comprehensive distribution solution.
Benefits include:
- Wholesale supply for hobby shops and online retailers across the U.S.
- Direct retail access via AFVHobbyHub.com
- Faster domestic shipping and fulfillment
- More consistent stock availability and restocking
- Improved access to new releases and existing products
This approach ensures that both retailers and hobbyists can reliably obtain IBG kits without the delays often associated with overseas sourcing.
Supporting a Diverse Modeling Community
IBG Models’ catalog appeals to a wide range of builders, from those interested in World War II subjects and lesser-known vehicles to hobbyists seeking detailed and rewarding builds. Their kits often strike a balance between precision engineering and buildability, making them suitable for both experienced modelers and those looking to expand their skills.
AFV Hobby Hub views this partnership as a way to support the continued growth of the modeling community in the United States.
“Modelers today are looking for variety, accuracy, and quality,” the company noted. “IBG Models delivers all three, and we’re excited to make their products more accessible to builders nationwide.”
Strengthening AFV Hobby Hub’s Position
As AFV Hobby Hub Inc. continues to expand, partnerships like this one demonstrate its commitment to becoming a trusted hub for premium modeling brands. By combining strong manufacturer relationships with a dual-channel distribution model, the company is building a foundation that supports both retailers and individual hobbyists.
The addition of IBG Models follows a series of recent brand partnerships, reflecting AFV Hobby Hub’s strategy of offering a diverse and high-quality product range that meets the evolving needs of the hobby community.
Looking Ahead
AFV Hobby Hub has confirmed that initial shipments of IBG Models products will be arriving soon, with ongoing restocks and new releases planned. Customers can expect a growing selection of IBG kits available through both retail and wholesale channels.
The company also plans to highlight IBG Models through promotions, product spotlights, and community engagement initiatives to introduce the brand to a wider audience.
With this latest announcement, AFV Hobby Hub Inc. continues to establish itself as a key player in the U.S. scale modeling industry—delivering quality, reliability, and access to some of the hobby’s most respected brands.
