Last call for Scale Motorsport

[Pete J.]

Ok, this is some really sad news.  Scale Motorsport is closing its doors.  I have been in touch with Matthew for the last several months and he has had the business up for sale for the better part of a year and so far no solid buyer.   Unless a white knight comes charging in out of left field, he will be shutting the business down within a month.  So, this is the last chance to pick up those parts you have wanted but been holding off on buying. I have to believe that as time goes on, these parts will go for stupid money if you have to pick them up off eBay.  

  Matthew tells me that it will be first come first serve.  I sent in a huge order to cover all my existing models.  I will miss this business sorely!  They make the best stuff in the world.  There super kits were huge!  They set a standard that has not been met to this day. 

  The good thing is that Matthew is a good friend and I plan on seeing him around in the future.

Does that mean that Scale Motorsports will not be at NNL East?

They are registered for NNL East and will have everything on clearance sale.  Matthew was at the Philadelphia NNL yesterday and did a very brisk business at clearance prices.  He told me that he may do an IPMS show after NNL East if he still has merchandise.

Great! Thanks for the info, Tom.

Wow, I know people don't work forever, so not surprised.  Not that I have the funding or expertise to run a business, but how much would a "white knight" need to pony up?

I'm glad that I got all the Porsche GT1 super detail parts, have noticed they aren't available on all the sources I've been pursuing lately.  Thanks for the heads up!
