109ace Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) Demand for this set has picked up in the past week. But don't worry. I can cast as many as needed to satisfy everyone's needs. Comes with tail as shown and additional lower engine service panel. Click on the link to purchase. International sales welcome. https://www.ebay.com/itm/302656988674?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649 And sadly, with the death of Hobbico leaves Revell and Revell of Germany without an owner. No bidders at the auction to buy them. That may be it for the two companies. And along with that is the fact that furture releases and plans are no more. Looks like there will not be a "Late" model P-51D coming from Revell. >>>"CHAMPAIGN — Hobby-product distributor Hobbico has found a buyer for its remote-control business: cross-town competitor Horizon Hobby. Horizon Hobby has agreed to buy several units of Hobbico for a combined $18.8 million, subject to an auction scheduled for Wednesday. "We believe this transaction, if completed, will further strengthen Horizon's position as the market-leader in the RC industry," Horizon Hobby President and CEO Joe Ambrose said in a statement. "Horizon and Hobbico have served many of the same retailers and customers for years. Upon completion of this transaction, Horizon will work to provide a smooth transition within the industry." Hobbico filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January with the goal of finding a buyer. "Acquiring and incorporating Hobbico's RC business with Horizon allows us to further strengthen our organization so that we are well-positioned to grow and meet the future needs of retailers and customers," Ambrose said. "It is unfortunate that Hobbico's financial position forced it to seek bankruptcy protection, but this transaction will result in a strong organization with the resources to expand and prosper." If completed, Horizon will be buying Hobbico's Great Planes and Tower Hobbies divisions, as well as brands including Axial and Arrma. Hobbico had been asking for at least $22 million for these companies. The purchase won't include Estes, United Model, Revell US or Revell Germany."<<< Edited March 31, 2018 by 109ace sandokan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
