I found out that Skytrex seem to once have done a range of 1/600 aircraft including Horsa and Hamilcar gliders. The website, however, does not list them. Does anyone know what happened to them?

I think they went to Heroics and Ros with the 1/600 coastal forces ranges

Skytrex has this page of links to sites that got the ranges they sold off.

Ah yes, the gliders are under Allied Planes for Coastal Forces, in the coastal forces range on the Heroics and Ros site.

I must say, the H&R site has vastly improved since the last time I looked at it. It still needs a whole lotta photos, but it's organized and modern now. Good job, guys.

I have been watching for new status on the 1/700 Meridian "Trafalgar" line for some years. Clicking the link I ultimately arrived at a page which is is well worth a look:

As will be seen if you visit this link there is a four-page formatted "store" module with all the appearances of being in business (41 results), colour images, very impressive.

Anyone able to contact/visit Navy Models & Books to learn the status? I can find nothing about the date of this site, latest perhaps 2013?

I am going to pursue this further and will report back. If anyone can glean anything authoritative about the current fate of Meridian "Trafalgar" please post here or PM me.

Cheers.
