Title: Otter in resin ?
Post by: ripley on June 21, 2020, 11:44:05 pm

 The company who Rubicon got the molds for their French tanks and Citron also had a very nice model of the Otter . Does anyone know if the molds were purchased by someone ? Or does anyone remember the Company name so I can try and find one on E bay . I used to have all the info saved but doing a "spring cleaning " of my saved files , I seem to have deleted it

Neucraft Models (I believe)

They had a web site (now defunct) and an ebay web store (also now gone).

The owner of Neucraft got himself a job and disappeared from the industry.  Unfortunately, despite continued dialogue with him on the IP for the rest of his product range, there was no response.  He never replies to us anymore.

:(

I'm sorry to hear that . It's too bad the master  didn't get sold to another company . It's a really nice looking model and I'm sure lots of Commonwealth modelers would have got one .if it was available . By the time I got into 1/56 and found out about Neucraft , they were all ready closing down .
