Julien Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Was speaking to the owner at Telford this weekend and he is retiring with the aim to shut Feb 2022 unless he runs out of stock before hand. a shame as he does some nice stuff. He had one less Ferret when I left. Julien 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy G Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 There was someone with him on Sunday who was going to be taking over. I was asking after the Landrover engine and gearbox as separate parts to go into Revell kit and the new chap said he’d bear it in mind for the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModelMonkey Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Missed out on a Lightweight to go with my 101" but got a few wee bits last week. Great news if there might be a continuation in part at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat fingers Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 There is news on the KFS website that there is now or soon to be a new owner, who will continue to make and sell the old kit, with new ones in the pipeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bootneck Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 As usual, I was late to the party; however, I managed to get a half ton trailer from KFS, it was about all that was left. I just need to scratch a Landy for it or perhaps just wait for the new producer to come along. cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Despite what may have been said, KFS do have a number of kits still available as of today - including full kits/vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busnproplinerfan Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Is the KFS site staying operational? I just looked on it and it shows new products coming, shows planned and parts still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busnproplinerfan Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I just had a reply from KFS about their situation. "Many thanks for your email. Yes indeed we are remaining active. We took over KFS from 1st March 2022 upon the retirement of the original founder Howard Whitehead. We are continuing with the range and adding more products to it over the coming weeks/months.
