Excerpt from the message:

Message. We can confirm that Heller have gone into liquidation but at this time no official announcement has been made on how this will affect supplies of Heller and Airfix kits in future. As soon as something positive is announced you will be able to read it here.

THIS WILL NOT AFFECT the Airfix Nimrod or Canberra as they are being made in China. The Nimrod is now back to first quarter of 2007 with the Canberra following.

Thanks for the update. I sure want a big Nimrod or two, and may have to see about grabbing a pair of CL-215 and 415 just in case.....

Humbrol own all the legacy Heller tooling, so it shouldn't affect things too much - just a hiatus as/if the moulds are moved from France.

People scrambled to buy up stocks of Frog kits when they went bust too.  All for naught.  Steel tools are too valuable to become scarce (for the most part).  Even if Heller goes belly up, the molds will show up somewhere else.  I wouldn't go out and corner the CL-215/415 market just now..
