Default Where is Modeltech?

What happened to the Modeltech line of ARF's? Tower doesn't show any listings for them any more and Hobbypeople shows only a handful.

Just wondering because you know what they say...you don't miss it till it's gone and I lost my Magic Extra 300L[]

Global and I think Sportsman are the same company. Not sure why there are several names under the same company.

Global is the importer/distributor for Modeltech, Sportsman Aviation, and a bunch of other brands. No different than the other distributors (Hobbico & Horizon) having dozens of different "house brands."

Hobby People is the retail arm of Global. If they do not have the Modeltech item you want, it's probaby no longer available.

As the original post stated:
Compared to a year ago, that's a huge decrease of available product.

Thanks guys.- It doesn't seem right though because they just introduced the giant scale yak, but now hardly anything else they had is available...
