Nick Belbin Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Are you thinking of Kit Form Services (KFS)? They seemed to have concentrated on military vehicles more recently. And I think some of his other lines have been sold off to others - I’ve been trying to get a Ford Transcontinental but am getting nowhere . . . The proprietor is going into retirement shortly. Nick Ha! Posted same moment as Keith!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith edit - seems the business has been sold. The owner is retiring, he sold the business but he has no idea in what form it will continue. At least not until a couple of months ago when I ordered a batch of stuff (mostly rims and hubs) to last me a couple of years 🙂 I ordered from him before, what I hadn't realized this time was what brexit really means, man that parcel became expensive when it got here 😆 I do hope his work continues, he made great stuff of high quality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richellis Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 KFS has been sold, Howard is retiring. The company has been sold as a whole and will continue in British ownership. they haven’t concentrated on just military stuff, the truck range has been added to until he made the choice to retire. the Transcon kit is now with MG mouldings and will be available again soon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six97s Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) https://modellersresource.co.uk/ acquired a few of the KFS transkit masters. I think the ERF A series is the only one available currently. Edited December 23, 2021 by Six97s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Smith Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Have MG Mouldings taken on a lot of Kit Form Services civilian stuff? Ref. Mike's original post, there is company named Hart Models that I can think of. I think they are at Hartley Wintney, Hampshire. The make white metal kits of British Commercials. Mike said that he might not be comfortable with metal kits. Basically they should be not much more difficult to building a resin out where super glue and epoxy adhesives are the norm.

Nick Belbin Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Hart Models, I think, are now under ASAMs ownership. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
