It was well known that his (messy) divorce caused the demise of Meteor Productions.  I imagine that this is a first step in a comeback by pretending to be the friend of modelers around the world, saving them from the exploitative prices of the dreaded EvilBay.

Cutting Edge products were of high quality, on the whole.  It was run by people who were truly passionate about modeling.  I just wish that the business practices behind it (black lists, refusing to pay suppliers, ignoring pleas to return source material) were more dignified.

I don't see anything I can use on his site, anyway. I could go for another set of 1/32 F-4D wheels and afterburner nozzles, but that would lead to a bunch of  "rock soup" purchases ending with yet another Tamiya F-4 I don't have room for.  ;D 

I wonder if this latest episode is to see how much talk he can generate on the forums, a sort of pathetic "look at me." If he does try to start back up, he may have trouble finding suppliers and master makers to work with him, given his reputation, especially since there are a lot of other, more reputable companies producing quality resin and decals, now.

Tempting, but I can't support Mr. Klaus' slimy business practices.  >:(  CAM or no, I will endure on the F-4J.

Here's the link to get by his sign in page:

Don't really see anything of interest to me. Which is probably a good thing!

Those 1/32 VMFA-333 F-4 decals would definitely be better than CAM's. One of the guys on the Modeling Madness forum used CAM's on his, and they didn't fit!

Wow - this is great.  Picked up the decals I needed for and Israeli F-15D and F-4E that I was planning as well as the decals for the Do-335!.  Great to get a leg up on the vultures on Evilbay !!!

Like Dave or not, he's got some good deals! 

Lee K. - He got a set of Marine decals for  the Tamyia F-4J.... hhhmmmmm???
