WHAT'S NEW:
As many of you know, the Radestock range of Running Hardware has been out of
production for a few years now. Recently, the rights to production along with all of
the existing tooling were purchased by a British Craftsman. He is in the process of
moving the equipment to his own shop and will resume production by the end of the
year. We have secured the rights to market these products in North America as soon
as everything is up and running. This is welcome news to all of the warship modelers
as the Radestock Line includes a large selection of high quality, very accurate props,
struts, rudders and stuffing boxes. There will be further announcements in upcoming
Newsletters.
Based on several requests we have received for more Photo Etched accessories, we have
spoken with our suppliers of Photo Etch and they have agreed to manufacture a selection
of new products. These New Fittings are available in 1/96, 1/144 and 1/192. The Website
will be updated with these fittings in the next week or so. I will list them on the mainpage
for your convenience in finding them.
We have acquired distribution rights to a New Line of Hulls and Semi-Kits out of Europe.
Each Hull comes with Plans and a Photo CD. Many of the Hulls also have fittings sets
and those that don't will have them soon. Fabricated Superstructures are also available
for a few of the Hulls. You will find these also listed on the website in a few weeks.
UPDATE:
Work is continuing on the restoration of the Former "Staubitz of Buffalo" Molds. If all
goes according to Plans, the 1/96 U.S.C.G. WHEC 378' will be available and in full
production by Christmas. Hopefully, we are looking to also have the 1/72 Scajacuada Tug
also available at the same time. Early next year we will have two (2) more Tugs and a
Lumber Hooker up and running. We will keep all of you posted.
REMINDER:
With the Holidays, remember that we have Gift Certificates available now in any amount
requested. Great idea for Gifts or to tell your significant other.
