Working from Brazil, you will notice a recurring theme in the refelcted in the selection of the model items that have been produced by the Small Scale Model shop. Many are products that are used by the Brazilian armed forces, or are manufactured in Brazil and sold to other Armed forces around the world. It is probably true to say that the part played by Brazil in world arms sales is pretty much overshadowed by the 'big 5' countries that supply military equipment
