Excellent choice of subject and long overdue in this scale. I hope it sells well. Unfortunately, much as I would love a 1/72 VC-10, I do not and never have liked vac forms so, regrettably I will not be buying this kit.

Is there any update on this potential release since there are some varied views on the Mach 2 Kit?

My understanding is that RAM have long stopped trading.

Ah that would explain it then, and why the website is no longer.  Their decals still seem to be around a plenty , probably just ld stock that is now coming to market buy retailers.
