The Monogram 1/43 line almost did continue on after the two kits shown.......but not at Monogram!! Soon after Monogram killed the 1/43 line a key person at Monogram formed a group of folks to start a model company aimed at producing 1/43 scale plastic model kits. I was asked to help out. I modified and built 3 Starter brand 1/43 kits.....these were to be used to show what we intended to produce and to be used as display models at trade shows. I don't have the exact reasons the project/company stalled.....but the US market wasn't ready for mass produced platic 1/43 kits. This venture did turn into another model related entity but that's another story.......
