Inside Wingnut Wings – what went wrong within the dream model company?

I agree with the questioning of some of their subject choices within what was a very limited market to begin with, compounded by tooling multiple versions of those esoteric choices.  They never catered to my scale interests, but i was hoping they'd succeed and grow so that perhaps they might in the future. Now I just hope that those craftsman that tooled their molds will find good work elsewhere plying their skills to continue to make modelers somewhere happy!

Joey: Look, I know you're hurtin' now, but in time you'll realize what you've achieved.
Jimmy Rabbitte: I've achieved nothing!
Joey: You're missin' the point. The success of the band was irrelevant - you raised their expectations of life, you lifted their horizons. Sure we could have been famous and made albums and stuff, but that would have been predictable. This way, it's poetry.

A shame; they made some really nice kits.

I wish I had display room for that scale.

Should be interesting to see how Evil Bay prices fare over time.

Old analog tape decks ( R2R and Cassette ) along with old tape have been rapidly climbing in bidding price since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
