Just read on the What-If Forum, that there's a post on FB that says Kitty Hawk and Panda Hobbies are closing down.

This are some real snarly and heated debates on Facebook about the quality of the kits. And the quality control and difficulty of construction. The choice of their subjects is not in question.

Some individuals are venting their frustration on the difficulty of building them. 

Disclaimer: I have not purchased or built one.

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

I've got their 1/48 F-35B in the stash, it looks like they just copied the Italeri 1/72 kit, grossly raised panel tape lines and all. The canopy is going to be particularly difficult to correct, they moulded in the support frame to the inside of it which means you have to paint the 'outside' of the canopy to hide it.
