a sad situation for the hobby world

All:
Please click on this link to the cuttingedge model works site and view the farewell video. What happened to this company? I was just about to purchase the black magic paint masks for a he111 and ju88. Did the hobby world let him down? This is really sad news and if anyone knows any info, please share!

no mate it was the other way around. he never answered phones, never replied to e-mails and quite a lot of the time even didnt send your items even after taking the money.

no one knows exactly why meteor productions has closed but there are rumors AND LET ME REPEAT THAT, reumors that he is going to be spending some time in the slammer for mail fraud and had to close the business.

he let many, many people down, over-priced (and sometimes on his limited run kits wouldnt even say the price, just take the money from your credit card and send you the kit..we are talking $400+ here) and the kits were not worth it.

anway, dont get me started. lol

If he put as much effort into the company as he did for the farwell he should still be in business Y did it what did happen for this business to go down the tube.

i think one of the main issues was a break down in communication on his behalf. and as we all know communication is key.

I'm still a bit baffled especially after watching this vid. They had around eight product lines and were around for years.
