[WWI] Airfix/Heller Humbrol situation

[Joel Christy]

  Hi Michael,
   
  The last I have heard about Airfix et. al. is that because Heller, the parent company, has gone into recievership All the Airfix/Humbrol stock is frozen and will not be available until the courts settle it all. That could be months or years. I got this info from my local Model shop in York last week and they should know. If you see something you want I'd buy it now or you may never see it. Speaking for myself I hope I don't run out of paint! I might have to go back to using Testors as i did 50 years ago!
   
  Cheers,
   
  Joel

Humbrol. Their troubles aside, the catalogue doesn't laways contain the 
same items each month.
