* All-New Model *
Parts for Original or Brick Storefront Versions * Authentic
Design and Details * Unique Addition to any Post-War Business
District
Based on an actual structure in Lomira, Wisconsin, which was
still in use as a video rental store in late 2005, this detailed
model is typical of converted Quonset huts seen cost to cost.
Its small size of just 20 x 48 scale feet makes it an ideal
structure for a small space, while the unusual shape and brick
work make it stand out in any business district. Parts for the
original "metal" front and rear walls, ideal for a military
diorama or war games, are also provided. With period signs,
figures and vehicles nearby, it will fit any layout from the
late 1940s through the present.
Like the prototype, the model includes a fancy brick false-front
entrance (when new the actual structure was at the intersection
of two major state highways) to draw customers attention. The
rear wall was also reworked with a different door and window
arrangement, and parts for a window air conditioner and electric
meter are included. The structure also sat on a cement block
foundation, which is duplicated for the model. With different
types of doors (sold separately) and some minor kitbashing, the
basic kit, like the prototypes, can be converted into many other
useful structures.
