I Saw where Wingnut Wings, makers of very nice WWI aircraft is now out of business. They made some absolutely beautiful 1/32 scale kits. Very sad news.

I Saw where Wingnut Wings, makers of very nice WWI aircraft is now out of business. They made some absolutely beautiful 1/32 scale kits. Very sad news. Really? That surprises me. I've seen seen several of their kits and they are beyond fabulous and seemed to be good sellers. Not to mention the firm is owned by Peter Jackson, who can certainly afford to keep a pet project going if he chooses to do so, and anything WW1 is a passion for him. Edit: A check of their website says nothing about out of business, but does say that they are not processing orders for the time being due to COVID-19. I would expect that they will be up and running again in a couple of months

Yes, obviously the website hadn't been updated or taken down at the time I looked. One wonders what went wrong...

We can only hope that they can get things straightened out or someone buys up the tooling. Didn't Academy buy up some of the tooling from the defunct Accurate Miniatures? Those were some awesome kits as well.
