Don't think it did - not enough interest,

Well, there is ten interested on this thread so far. Has Ron advertised elsewhere? Britmodeller etc.

Not sure if Ron's put the word out apart from here.
I think he needs more than the interest shown here to make it a worthwhile project,

Given the collector value of the Wingnuts Gotha kits now I'd say none are being made and most are being regarded as high value sale/ trade items only.

Hi Dave,
I'd say that's probably the main reason,

Then the $$ value of mine is in the toilet as I have opened the bags and done a bit of pre-painting! lolol. But the modelling and happiness value is priceless.

Make that 11. Although riding into such an expensive Gotha IV as mentioned may not be to everyone’s interest now?

Mike
Ron's set looked really nice and the built up conversion was great
However, ....
on the current Forex $112USD = $Au155
if you then add PayPal shipping from Europe ( I think Ron's in Holland isn't he ), you're getting up around $Au200
That's a very full hand of bannana dollars ...
Would Ron consider a lower package price or perhaps an alternative postal arrangement to reduce overall cost ?
