ATTN: Plastic Kit Manufacturers...
Hi,
By now most have heard that Williams Brothers is no longer in business. Are any WWI plastic kit manufacturers going to take up the slack to produce 1/6, 1/4 and 1/3 scale Vickers, Lewis and Spandau machine guns for R/C Modelers? 1/5 scale might be nice too while you are at it. Williams Bros sold most of these kits for many years, so there seems to be a market for them. They also produced LeRhone engine kits in 1/6 scale and Gnome Cylinders (I think) in 1/4 scale. It would be nice to see some new nicely detailed scale kits available of accessories for WWI R/C models. SL DIII |

Williams Bros.
I am glad I bought the Douglas World Cruiser model a few years back. Now if I just could get around to building it is another question!

Mourning the loss of Williams Bros.
Ouch I am feeling major pain at this news. I guess I should consider myself lucky that at one time or another I have built 98% percent of their 1/72-ish scale offerings. That Douglas World Cruiser is a real honey of a kit. I built it a couple of years ago and would be happy to post a pic or two if anyone wants to see the results. Right now I have plans to bash a T2D from one of my DWC kits and I will probably get a little emotional as I detach the parts from the sprue and clean them up. Fortunately, I have two of their Boeing 247 kits to console me.
