Obviously someone who hasn't seen their new Tiger 1s. Great looking kits.

Hey Sabot,Was'nt trying to be funny. I really thought the company went under. I built a couple of their 1/35th jeeps years a go and loved them. I'am not into 1/48th but happy to hear their still around.

My contact with them is home for the holidays. I've asked him while he is home to see if he can get any release info on these and especally the Firefly that is planned. For those who don't know Skybow is also releasing several airbrushes and a compreser as well as the kits. I should be getting a sample of these sometime in January. I've told my contact that if they can get the Firefly ready it will help them tremendously since Tamiya hasn't announced on yet.

Do Skybow have a website? I've seen some of their stuff on Accurate Armour.

You can check out the site here, but it has not been kept current. They only update about once every 4 months or so.

Now it makes sense why all their 1/35th stuff disappeared.
