Airwaves closing shop? Say it isn’t so!
I wasn’t impressed with the one time I ordered from them. My F-14 NACES seats were somewhere between 1/72 and 1/48, not the 1/48 that I needed.
I hope not. I was planning on building an American Spitfire PR XI and Seafire LIIc that required their conversion kits. I heard they were having supplier issues. [:(]

From E D Models, England
Dear Sir’s
I am writing to inform you that on 8th May 2004 E.D. Models will close its doors for the last time.
The reason for closing is a very simple one. With the very heavy commitments of the business I simply am not seeing enough of my 6 year old daughter (from my first marriage).
I would like to thank all customers and friends world wide who have supported
E. D. Models throughout the years and made it so enjoyable.
Thank You All
I have been very lucky to have been involved in an industry and hobby that spans the world and brings so many people of so many different creeds, backgrounds and views together, in the simple quest of a glue that won’t string and a matt varnish that will dry matt!
Truly I believe this is a magnificent period of plastic modelling and I see a wonderful time ahead for this hobby. Long may it continue
This will also mean that I can build a few more kits and I should be able to see a little more of the model shows than I have over the past years when I have had a trade stand.
Once Again Thank You
Andrew Deeley
PS. We will be closed for some earthquake repair work to the building between April 23 until April 28. Re-open April 29.
PPS Yes we currently have a grand clearance sale.
PPPS. The Airwaves range. I am talking to a number of companies about
the range and so it should continue under new ownership
Phew. I wonder who will acquire it? Eduard maybe? Hmmm… Accurate Miniatures did say some of their people were going on a business trip. Hmmmm[#dots]
I guess that means getting any Airwaves stuff you want quick before it disappears!! I got my Hannants catalogue, and going through it half the stuff I wanted was listed as “Discontinued”!! Meant I had to have a massive shopping spree or lose them forever!!!
Did the same last night. One problem. One part I want (LIIc conversion) is a New Release. In other words, unless someone picks up the product line, I’ll have to increase the scope of the Spitfire Vb to a Seafire LIIc conversion project. Or wait, and wait, and hope, and wait…
