Checked on line with Bad Cat Toys http://www.badcataviation.com/contactus.html and their website says that they believe that the F-4 and B-25 projects have been cancelled.

RATS!! I was looking forward to spending my retirement years doing the B-25, now what? Guess I'll have to fall back on plan 'B' and tour the Southwest on the motorcycle-

Be sure and take a camera or digital imaging device 8)
I was also looking forward to the B-25, saved a space on my ceiling for the hanging collection of 18th scales, guess I'll slip the Avenger in its place*hangs head* :(

I would bet it has to do with the new lead testing laws.

I quit model building over a year ago. I almost got back into it about two months ago. But I didn't go through with it.

I found that my skills where going down hill. That and my time on them was small and to be honest I lost interest. I am thinking of selling off a good part of my kit stash. I think models is a dying hobby to be honest. Kit prices are going higher and higher. I can't effort them thats for sure. I got other things I needto save my money on like bills and flight lessons. :)

No way! :twisted: When you get frustrated with a model, just remember. Every modeler usually has lowered expectations by the time a build is done. I take it to account that every modeler usually has the same basic skills and determination when starting a project. "Perfectionists Desire" I call it.

And what do you mean its a dying hobby! :wink: All the more reason to continue it! My friends look at me like I'm from the wrong generation. Maybe I am, :P but that makes it twice as fun!

PS. If your still thinking of selling your models off, I'd grab probably anything you have in 1/144th scale! :wink:
