Re: Hobbico files for bankruptcy

Unfortunatly Tamiya base its scale model market in iternational sales and "tastes"...the have not make any muscle car of the vintage flavor ever...and think they would not start now. Even classic vintage european cars have been ignored by Tamiya for decades. It would be great if we could get some classic Jaguars, Aston Martins,Ferraris and American racing icons from this great manufacturer...but by the looks of things.. it will never happen. We will still have to look for these offerings from small/specialist makers. Is very SAD to hear these news of Hobbyco and the implications towards the Revell brands, they have been making some terrific model subjects and planning for new ones....I was looking forward for their new racing GT40 model, have Two of their Corvette C7R on my workbench right now as well as other street/competition models on progess....hope there is still hope for Revell to keep going and offering their model range.
