It would appear that there's a brouhaha with the new 'owner' of QRF/Freikorps. From the old QRF F/B page:
"Since I stepped back and Harry has taken over I have had very little involvement. I was initially responding to email queries to help him get set up but he has removed that access from me. I no longer have access to the emails, and Harry has stopped replying to mine. I have tried all email addresses, including via the website, with no response.
I gave him some initial leeway to get set up (due to some complications with him leaving the RAF) but he has not signed the production licence for the ranges I own nor made any commission payments. The recorded delivery contract was returned "addressee gone away" so I must assume he has ceased operating.
Therefore with effect 5 April 2025 Harry Dowden T/A QRF Models no longer holds a licence to produce the following ranges, which are owned by me:
QRF (all modern ranges including aircraft)
Arab Israeli Seven Years War (all nations) American Revolution (all nations) US Mexican War Maximilian War Great Paraguayan War Spanish American War Seminole War 30 Years War English Civil War History of India Samurai AirWulf 1/1200 air range
Should anyone be interested in taking over these ranges, please contact me at Geoff.titchener@gmail.com
However at this time I have no information on the state or whereabouts of the masters, but any production from this point is piracy in breach of copyright."

Some nice figures – hope they continue to be available |

As the US stockist for those ranges I'm sad to report I have also been ghosted by the new owner. I'll be selling down existing stock, hoping for new ownership. Mark Severin

After no communication and an absurdly long wait I received my order from QRF a few months back and the figures turned out to be unusable rubbish. So bad that I binned the lot of them. Waste of time and money. |
| Martin Rapier | 16 Apr 2025 6:34 a.m. PST |
It is a shame, after a slightly rocky start I had a good number of successful purchases with the new owner, but not for a few months now. As an alternative, the new owners of Skytrex are doing a great job. |
| 79thPA | 16 Apr 2025 9:58 a.m. PST |
What a shame.The range deserves a better fate. |
 Yellow Admiral | 16 Apr 2025 3:20 p.m. PST |
This is really distressing. I hope the figures come back into production, somehow, anyhow. Several of these ranges constitute primary interests in my collection. |

Fighting15s retired, and now this. Yeesh. |
| grahambeyrout | 18 Apr 2025 10:23 a.m. PST |
After the change of ownership I had a couple of SYW orders completed satisfactorily, the last of these was in Jan 2024. About 3 months ago I tried to make a new order online but found the website had changed and was impossible to use. I emailed the new owner but had no response. It is a great shame that the QRF venture appears to have failed because there were some very good and useful models in the old Freikorps range, and surprisingly I found the infantry were compatible with the Moon Blue SYW range. I hope someone takes them over |

Pretty hard to expect anyone to take over a range of figures if there are no masters, molds or associated production needs. |
| Swampking | 20 Apr 2025 7:03 a.m. PST |
The loss of 15mm companies of late has been devastating:
Fighting 15s (awesome minis – for various conflicts but the old Gladiator line comes to mind), Magister Militum (who knows when the old Chariot line will be available) and now, QRF. I pray for the health of Essex, Museum Miniatures, Miniature Figurines and Peter Pig! I was going to place a huge order for Schleswig/Holstein minis but after reading the above, I'll stick with Eureka! |

Thanks for the link, I've given PP a five star review, excellent company, first class service and good communications. |
| oldjarhead | 09 May 2025 8:58 a.m. PST |
I have been ordering from Peter Pig for several years and have never had a problem getting my figures. Even when it is special order packs |
| stewart46A | 10 May 2025 11:38 a.m. PST |
Thanks for the link Julian I have ordered from Peter Pig since 2003 when I left the military, many time each year.
I. Have all the rule set and accompanying figures.
Never had a problem in 22 years and over 5000 figures |

At 20:32 last night I received the following message:
The eagle has flown At 01:30 this morning it was followed by: The eagle has landed It will take a little while to check and confirm, but I believe all relevant moulds and masters for the ranges listed have now been liberated and delivered to their new home, where we hope to start full production shortly. Details to follow. Geoff QRF |

Hi,
Geoff can you let know if the 1/1200 scale Seawulf aircraft are going back on sale?
25% through my project when QRF stopped trading. Can you let me know please G |

link Welcome.
By now you'll will have noticed the rebranding taking place. This is, as the saying goes, me!

I am the owner of these three (mildly rebranded!) brands: FK15, QRF Moderns and AirWulf, which comprise multiple ranges.

> British
> Brazilian
> Chinese
> Dutch
> French

> South African
> Soviet/Russian

> North Korean (Korean War)
> South Korean (Korean War)
> Vietnam

> Australian (Vietnam)
> Helicopters
> Modern aircraft
> Arab Israeli
AirWulf 1/1200 modern helicopter and aircraft
I have taken them away from the previous location and I have no association with that business. Please be aware, I do not own every range that was previously sold; the other owner has retained some ranges (notably ACW, WW1 and WW2, which I am often asked about) and I'm afraid I cannot answer any questions as to what is going on there or any orders placed there.
I am not selling these items myself from here, but I am in the process of establishing someone to cast and sell these ranges. What am going to use this location for is to promote my ranges, tell you where to get them… and give you some sneak peeks into additions I may be making.
It is going to take a little while to get everything fully functional. As you can imagine, there is a lot of depth in these ranges and something like 800 moulds, so you will see ranges brought online one at a time. We are still in the early stages of getting everything set up, so please do bear with us…
News will follow! |
