At this point if someone just both the molds or had them and can start producing kits they would prob be in the black. Seem that WNW went south with too much R&D, but if all that is already done then maybe there's meat on the bone for someone to make money. Personally I don't think you will ever see them.
You make a good point. The total production cost of a project like this has already been eaten by WNW.
The cost structure of purchasing the molds is entirely different to making the kit from scratch, and could be much more easily made to be profitable.
This is basically free money for Peter Jackson if a player comes along eager to pursue the project. It's just a question of how much free money. I have always found that every little bit helps! LOL.
(Assuming the WNW Handley Page is ready to go or very nearly ready to go).
