Appears Williams Brothers is back in business with re-release of 1/72 Martin B-10.
A year something ago I was lucky enough to talk to one of Williams Brothers who was working on making kits again.  Being a B-10 fan, I suggested they start with their B-10 kit since no one else has a competing kit on the market.  So now by golly, it is released with fresh box art.  Like to support a reemerging vintage company and add a B-10 to your collection? --- now is the time.
The kits are on Ebay.

It seems they're doing the C-46 as well, primarily at the instigation of a guy in the UK who does decals for them. I have one of the old issue ones and you tend to think of it as around the same size as a Dak, but it's HUGE by comparison!

 They're also sort of in my back yard - a few miles to the east in Tyler/Taylor ( never can remember which ) Texas. Good news about the B-10.

Williams Brothers has been back for years. After the purchase and move to Texas
they concentrated on getting the RC accessory lines back into production first, then
they started on the kits.

They've redone the packaging art but the illustrations are not to the caliber of the John Amendola
artwork the 'old' WB used.
Fair disclosure, I know John and consider him a friend.

We restocked their Air Racers series several years ago at the shop. They are all still on the shelf. :(
