PierreR89 Posted December 27, 2024 Posted December 27, 2024 Saw this on facebook: Hello folks. My name is Matthew Arnold and I'm the new caretaker of AITM. I purchased the assets from the Natale family late last year. I'm currently working on remodelling a two car garage to facilitate casting, packing and shipping the large range of parts and kits. The goal is to be able offer the same rapid service we came to expect from the business. We hope to be operational some time in Q1 of 2025. Looking forward to working with all of you! Best regards, Matt 5 1 Quote
Force Posted December 27, 2024 Posted December 27, 2024 (edited) Great news. I really miss Dave Natale's parts. Edited December 27, 2024 by Force Quote
Warren D Posted December 27, 2024 Posted December 27, 2024 I was in touch with him a while back and he indicated he was going to start slow which I took to mean that the it may be a while before the entire line is available. Good news is that Dave's legacy continues. 1 Quote

Had some of the Finest Resin Conversion sets and Wheels/Tires in the business. It looks like Matthew Arnold bought the molds and will continue the business. Three Cheers for Matthew! 2 Quote

Too many times now, I was waiting to purchase, and then the vendor closed or went away. (Still hoping Rookie Resin reboots, really wanting two sets of those 8' 1962-1966 Chevy Pickup sides.) 2 Quote
1930fordpickup Posted January 6 Posted January 6 (edited) With the amount of good truck modelers that want parts he may be blown away with orders in no time flat. I wish him the best and a long time in the business. Edited January 6 by 1930fordpickup Fat thumbs and missed word 2 Quote

leafsprings Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Very good news! AITM filled a big void left by big plastic and was a reliable source of quality pieces. Quote
