If I were to guess I’d speculate Mike West at Lone Star Models has exercised his exit strategy on his venture of Lone Star Models and liquidated all assets in a sell to Flagship Models. I hope the deal was lucrative and one he could not pass up. I have purchased his 1/48 scale B-10 resin kit a few years ago and was planning on acquiring his 1/48 scale P-6 Catapult, 1/48 scale P-17 detail set, and a few other of his products. I hope Flagship continues to provide Mike’s high quality products and only wish the best for Mike and his “retirement” from Lone Star Models.
P.S. Doesn’t look like Flagship has Mike’s offering incorporated into their online catalog as of yet. Hope they do soon… that 1/48 scale P-17 is on my horizon and the old Lindberg kit needs a desparate facelift from Mike’s 1/48 scale P-17 detail set.
