To put it bluntly, has Hobbycraft gone out of business?

Their website appears to be functional but I get the feeling they're concentrating on RC toys instead of new kits nowadays
Hobbycraft's owner has the reputation in Canada of being in the business for the money rather than a love of the hobby.

Thanks Jessie
I have been trying to purchase the two Camels and two SPAD XIIIs but have not found them all yet. Most places just say sold out, or no longer available.

Academy may re-issue them one of these days. They did the Nieuport and the horrible first issue Camel. Perhaps an enquiry to them may help?
