Two Vintage Kits
Hello all...... I aquired three kits yesterday that are missing all the paperwork. The first is a Royal Cessna Skymaster 76" span. The second is two Midwest Sweet Stiks. Neither has any paperwork to help me put them together. Does anyone out there have them that I could get? Any help would be very much appreciated!!! Oh and yes I have checked with the original manufacturers and they could not help me!!! Thanks

RE: Two Vintage Kits
Hmmm...don't know if they are "out of business" per se. Hobby Barn appears to be closing out their inventory and they were the only US distributors. However, Udisco Ltd in Canada just updated their website on 12/24 and has all the Marutaka kits in stock. A visit to the (just updated) Japanese website tells you that they only sell direct to Japanese customers at this time. (From their website) They may be undergoing a change of ownership or something similar. Great kits! They truly are! Unfortunately few people build kits anymore, other than some of us old diehards.
