Scale Motorsport shutting down

[jaymcminn]

If you need carbon fiber decals, Wizard "O"s or any number of detail bits, Scale Motorsport is sadly shutting down with 50-75% off of their regular prices. There are some great deals over there while they last. I stocked up on carbon fiber and upholstery decals as well as Wizard Os and PE saw blades.

Too bad, they have nice products.
Hopefully someone will take over.

Sad when any top notch after market supplier decides to call it a day. 

Unless the business can be sold on it is inevitable unfortunately.

I know Matt and he is a bit older than me. He lives out in Shelter Island, unless he has moved again. He may be at the LIARS show on the 9th. He was always at the NNL East. 

I like his 1/20 scale seatbelt kits, they are easier to deal with. I'm sure someone will step up to keep the line going.

Thanks, just emptied my wallet. Definitely some good buys there ...

Just grabbed a bunch of upholstery decal sets, $4/ ea!!!! Grab ‘em before they’re gone! Sad to see another model car AM business fold but nice to hear it’s a retirement and not due to health/ owner passing.

I put my order in but not soon enough I think that all of the Wizard O's are all gone

This is like when Hostess Twinkies were being discontinued. I hadn't had one in 20 years... but had a fierce Jones for one suddenly.

I thought Shelter Island sank into the sea years ago...

Grabbed some decals and their decal solution. Not much of a Photo Etch guy, but it looks tempting. 

Get it while it is available!

We received six months worth of sales
in the first 3 days of our closeout event!
The volume has far exceeded our ability
to fill orders in the timely manner we
normally do so I ask for your patience,
your order will ship with tracking
number, in the order it was received

 

Shipping starts on Monday 11 November 

 

Furthermore, should we run out of stock 
on an item you ordered, I promise I will
have additional stock produced. I know 
we said stock would not be refilled but
I did not anticipate the velocity of sales
that has occurred. Everything will be
done to make good on every order
