Not my scale but very important regardless:



Full list of Verlinden products here at The Modelling News.

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.

Nothing new about that turret.  It has been available for almost twenty years by now.  Comes in a box with a Cadillac-Gage turret with 2 X 0.30" Browning machine gun barrels.  The flame turret could also be built with a pair of machine guns instead of the flame tube and machine gun.  Pretty much identical to what you find in the Academy M113 ACAV kits.

gave up on Verlinden decades ago ... everything was under-scale (massive shrinkage) & didn't fit ... also gave up on Eduard's PE for armour kits - very little was actually usable as it was too thin for scale.

Read on Sprues News today.

Sad News Out of Verlinden

It seems that Verlinden Production has shuttered their doors, and Mr. Verlinden has retired.  It was not that long ago that the Verlinden Web site shut down, with remaining stock to be available through Dragon Hobbies Ebay Store.  Well looks like now the warehouse has been cleared out, and I have heard a rumor that the molds and masters have been destroyed, but cannot confirm that.

No rumour: there are photos on Facebook of rubber moulds being cleared out and tossed into a garbage truck.

Greg Coooper from The Scale Model Graveyard out of Denison, Texas has legally purchased the entire resin products lines of Verlinden Productions and Warriors Scale Models.
Both lines are in the process of getting back into slow production and distribution. It will take some time to sort out the entire tractor trailer full of masters and stock that was purchased.
