Here's some more from the archives re Plum Blossom:

Unfortunately they folded due to family problems, I believe.  The only
releases from them were the Lloyd C.V (which I have) and the FE2b -
along with selling the figures that came with those kits separately.

Quite wonderful kits.

A few years ago, a now-defunct maker of resin kits - Plum Blossom - made
an excellent FE2b.  Unfortunately, it was a limited run, and they have
since gone out of business.  One of the best things with Plum Blossom -
besides being some really awesome resin - is that the kits *came* with
figures.

Too bad Barry can't get his hands on those molds.  (FWIW, the other kit
Plum Blossom came out with was a Lloyd C.V - which made it as a review in
FSM done by Steve Hustad.)
