Does anyone know if Paragon Design kits are still available somewhere?
Specifically looking for the following kits in 1/72nd scale:
Mosquito Bulged Camera Bay (#72036)
Mosquito Twin Highball (#72037)

Hi GJ

Someone has taken over the line. They are available via Hannants, I do not know whether the sets you are looking for are already reissued maybe just search the Hannants site:

I believe Squadron has taken over the line .I found several of the old Paragon B-17G upgrades in the squadron catalog.I will check and let you know if they have what you are looking for.

Hi GJ

I know someone in the UK has taken over (Paragon was a UK based company before) I thought maybe hannants did as with the Airwaves line.

Maybe try posting over at Hyperscale forum. The new owner used to be there from time to time ... remember they only started over last year so maybe your set will be available in the future again (luckily I already got the 1/48 Tornado rudder/fin correction set reissued)

Sorry that I am not much of a help

good luck!!

Steffen,

It still may be Hannants though. They do have quite some Paragon kits. But not the interesting mosquito ones (yet?).

The line hasn't been taken over, by anyone; Neil Burkill, the owner, has re-started production, based in Norwich, which puts him close to Hannant's. Whether he will be doing all of his old stuff, I don't know, but your best bet will be to ask Hannant's for the latest news. The Aviation Hobby Shop, in London, also stock his stuff, and may be able to help.
