The normally well informed and reliable MBK (modellbau-koenig.de) of Germany has informed it's customers in their blog on 02.02.22, that Bronco has paused their production.
MBK is not expecting deliveries from Bronco and don't know, if this will be temporarily or permanent.

They’re having a sale on Bronco kits because (the blog says) “Bronco is leaving our inventory” — that sounds like they’re not expecting production to ever start back up, even though the blog says the manufacturer calls it a pause.

Taken from another forum. But i thought it was newsworthy for here. RIP GH.


Gail Halvorsen aged 101 passed away today. He is best known for organizing the dropping of candy packets to impoverished children in war-torn Berlin, where he was nicknamed 'Uncle Wiggly Wings" . RIP sir.

Ah! So that’s what it meant with “Ersatz M7” — I had read the name for a new kit the other day, but not investigated any further. One for BattleshipBob, I think
