The Albatros B.II being sold out has no effect on me at all, I have no intentions of buying one nor the DH.9. Like a lot of other people the exchange rate has killed my spending, I am now buying Takom kits from a home grown hobby shop, prices are excellent and shipping next to nothing. I used to be a big fan of Ebay but since all the changes and now with them taking a percentage of the postal charges I deleted my Ebay account, easy to see why it is called 'Evilbay'.
Scott, I have also noticed the decline in Wingnuts OOP kits being sold, I think that if people are buying a lot of each kit purely to make a profit I believe that they are going to get burnt, yes, they are good kits but not worth anywhere near what some people are asking, not even the OOP kits. If someone is extremely desperate for a particular kit they will pay any price, but is would be rare.
I only ever buy one of each kit, I have quite a stash of Wingnut kits at the moments but in time they will all be built, and I will continue to buy Wingnut kits as soon as the exchange rate settles down, the $20 increase in kit prices only covers some of the post so the free post appears to be staying a while longer. It has been said before, if you like a particular kit then buy it while it is available, all of the Wingnut kits past, present and future where marketed as limited run kits, grab them while you can if you can afford them.
