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. - Ix |

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. - Ix |

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