I was told that the german model manufacturer Schabak is out of business. It's said that a succesor has been found, who is going to continue the production with some major changes. The upcoming models will be produced in China and the moulds will be made of one piece instead of the former two parts. Further, the models will be tampo printed. The 1:250 and 1:500 lines will not be continued. The first new releases are due sometime this summer. For further info please visit www.scale600.com.
