Oh no:

We have decided to close the doors of Accurate Armour Limited next year and I will then retire from model manufacturing and Rob will pursue a new career.
The closing process has now started and we are in Phase-1.
All items marked in green on our website are available to order as usual, and many will continue to be made until production casting ends in a few weeks time.
There will be a lot more to say at later dates but today we are just getting the message out.
Thank you for reading and best wishes.

Definitely sad news. 

That said, my hand has been forced and I placed my order for 2 X Accurate Armour M41A1DK conversion kits.

I've been eyeballing that exact kit too. But the shipping to Canada...oof.

No Shit!  Postage to my address was not any better but I saw no other option.  Also the exchange rate was not exactly ideal but it had to be done.

I have a number of Accurate Armour kits, so this is awful news as there are still a few on the list, but as we can see.. shipping is often the deal killer.

Hopefully the masters may survive and some other entity pick them up.

Yep, that unfortunately is the usual next step in the process.  It would be nice if another entrepreneur were to take up the torch and continue the AA product line.
