SIMON CRAGG Posted August 17, 2023 Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 Agreed, but in the longer term we will, plus they are working on the uk warehouse as well. Not now, not tomorrow, but at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel/. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing he is referring to this on FB... Personally though I severely doubt this "good news" means a UK warehouse; that's a lot of additional complexity and cost for them that probably isn't required if they can get shipping from Poland going instead. Based on their past performance, I will believe it when I see it. Edited August 17, 2023 by MattyB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one or two years ago it was also TopModel.fr which closed, if I remember correctly. It is clear these are not good times for model building business!

Paul De Tourtoulon Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Top model was sold out to Flash Rc, not much in stock and no answer to mails, I remember going to Avio & Tiger, 20 years ago ( Robbe, Saito, Rossi, Thunder Tiger, Futaba, KO radios, )around 50 workers including the reps, I went there 2 years ago down to maybe 5/6 the 'boss' was stacking palettes with a forklift, and only one on getting the orders ready and a couple in the office.

SIMON CRAGG Posted August 24, 2023 Author Share Posted August 24, 2023 Just read that Elmsett? the UKHK base is very busy with large wagons appearing etc. Just ordered a 3s 2200mah lipo from the UK, so they are now taking orders. VERY limited stock at this stage, but only to be expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Yes, that seems to be the only battery they have in stock in the UK - but it’s one more than they had yesterday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
