Default Where did PICA go?

I tried to contact Pica both by email and phone. Their site said they are moving and another post indicated they are out of business, anyone know? I need a 1/6 scale T-28 canopy and they seem to be the only ones with that item.

Try Quantum Models. That is where I bought my T28 from. They might have replacement parts. I'm building my T28 and hope to have it finished by mid-summer. Why do you need a canopy? Did you crash? Have any pics of your plane?

Thanks I will try Quantum. I obtained the plane at a swap meet, it has lots of "hanger-rash" and the canopy is cracked...... I am in the process of sanding and patching dings. It's a glassed wing and Glass Fuse. I have no idea who built the kit but it measures out well with the Pica 1/6th scale, thus the need for their canopy.

They are 'For Sale' according to some in the industry - as of May 15th they ceased operations. Too bad too.....at least they made KITS!!!

I heard they are moving. It seems more likely they were sold. Too many knowledgeable people here have said so. Would be a shame to see them go. There are still some of thier kits someday I would like to own.
