There was a time last year and earlier this year that they had suspended operation cause Chris was very sick but they are open now.

I have ordered since the reopen and everything was as good as it was before.

Ryan thanks for the info. Are you looking into the medium rehab job on the Revell 1/32 AH1 seriously? It looks like a bit of a challenge, but nothing big? I'm looking to do a improved version of the 1/35 Super cobra. It appears that Cobra either sold out of or stopped shipping the 1/48 resin SH60 seahawks. Do you know anything about this?

I don't know, would have to see it first.

Yes, they stopped selling the complete kit but they still have the conversion sets, you just need the Italeri SH-60B kit.

He doesn't sell the decal sheet anymore.

FYI, decals:
Mike Grant http://www.mikegrantdecals.com/SH60.html
Fightertown Decals 48-029 http://www.fightertowndecals.com/files/FTD48029_coverx.jpg

I can bring them (all but the CC 60B set, I don't think I have that one) to the meeting if you want to check it out.
