Can this be? If so, this would really suck.
Well, it’s on the internet, so it must be true…[:p]
I’ve never had the pleasure of building an Eastern Express kit so I can’t shed any tears over this one.
Well it is but, here is a website that carries them,

Bummer,
I just finished my first EEx kit. I thought it was a pretty nice one.

I never cared for their stuff too much, although most of what I saw was reissued… Frog, I think and they also had a bad copy of the Toko P-63 if I recall, although I’m not too familiar with their latest offerings. Nevertheless, I don’t like to see a model company go under…
Fade to Black…
Hate to see any model company go out of business, but Eastern Express was mostly marketing old kits from other companies tooling.

They had a couple of new ones of their own out though. A 1/72 MiG-21 9-13 (I think). It was supposed to be a good kit, and their own tooling I believe. Darn, modeling companies are falling like flies around here…
Thats because it’s easier and cheaper to throw your kid in front of the idiot box or a computer screen, rather than discovering a hobby.
