Wm Blecky Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I was over at Henk of Holland's website yesterday and learned that MACO Models has shut down: Quote Matthias Conrad is closing down his shop and stopping the MACO line for private reasons. He has had his shop for 18 years and the MACO line for 10 years.The heavy trailer and the Flak he was working on will not more released. Rather sad to learn of this as I have several of their kits, all of which I feel are quite unique and of the best quality. Matthias filled a void in 1/72 with his kits and he will be missed. I would like to thank Matthias for his contributions to our hobby over all the years and wish him all the best. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire man Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I second the above comments, great kits. Perhaps Revell Germany could take over production of these as they have co-operated with him before ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackfordhibby Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 We can only hope that someone else will either take over the company. Or at a push, buy the moulds, would seem a shame to lose them for all time. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Gutted. Fortunately I too 'filled my boots' while the going was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire man Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 It appears that next year Revell to release one of the ex-Maco kits as 03264 - 15 cm Panzerwerfer 42 auf sWS , this is hopefully the start of perhaps more being released in the future ?

Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 That sounds promising as (AFAIK) the SWS was one of MaCo's own tools, not a collaborative effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
