Copper State Models has been sold
« on: August 07, 2012, 01:34:19 PM »
Our friend, Eric Hight, has finally realized his dream of retirement by selling CSM to Ilya Sobolev.  Here is the email he sent to me in response to an inquiry I had made:

Hello Bud,

Thank you for your email and kind words.

We are working on completely new website that eventually supposed to be interactive. The website should be up and running at some point in September.

We are going to produce 1/48 WWI aircraft resin kits and eventually re-launch all CSM products as it used to be under Eric. Currently we sent most of master kits for the restoration and re-casting. It is a very long and painstaking process so the old CSM kits will be re-released within a time, one by one as soon as they are restored and ready for sales.

The Salmson S.M.1 is scheduled to be released together with Sopwith Camel and Sopwith Dolphin in September too. I cannot give you exact details yet because we still waiting for our subcontractors who supposed to supply us with the PE parts, decals and so on.
I shall inform you when all these preparations for the re-launch will be over so please bear with us a little bit longer.

Kind Regards, 

Ilya Sobolev,

Well, Gregory, looks like your wish for a re-release of the SE5 will come true.  Just got an email from Ilya informing me that the new site is now up and running.  Still doing some work on it to allow for credit card payments, but for now, purchases can be made by PayPal and bank transfers.  The first releases will be a Snipe and a Dolphin plus the new Salmson S.M.1.  It also looks as though he's got an early and a late FK8 in the works.  Exciting stuff for us 1/48 scalers.
Here's a link to the new site:

  Bud,
Now that is welcomed news my old friend. Had a look at the link you provided and all i ca say is Wow. Exciting stuff indeed, the Salmson S.M.1 especially so. I'm very happy to see that the excellent CS details in 1/28 and 1/32 scales will return eventually as well. Many thanks Bud.

I received this notice from PayPal today, May 31, 2013:

     Dear John Diller,

     On Apr 30, 2013, you sent a payment to [email protected] for 10.98 GBP.

     The funds have been returned to your account.

     This payment was returned for the following reason(s):

     [email protected] did not sign up for a PayPal account or did not complete the registration process.


Is anyone else having problems with Copper State's new incarnation?
