JWM Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Scalemates says that Mistercraft has only new decals, so tooling is old and there are four possibilities: ESCI, Airfix, Italeari or Kittyhawk moulds. https://www.scalemates.com/products/product.php?id=346327&p=timeline It looks that one of above J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebee Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) Have a look at the last Heller Jaguar boxing... Same scheme. I do not think that it is at all a coincidence. Note that French company Maped has just sold all the Heller moulds and rights to the German retail company Glow 2B V.P.

Thomas V. Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Their former distributor in Germany Glow2b has taken over company assets(brand+tollings) plans to re-issue numerous kits and more importantly is planning brand new French oriented aviation, automotive and maritime kits in the future ( as those were main Heller business lines ). They are already setting up new kit development section, comprising former Heller employees and recruting new ones. All mentioned from Glow2b letter to their business partners. Time will tell.... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
