Exciting news from Martin Oude Vrielink former owner of Wingscale has announced the creation of his new Company, WINGXL to produce limited run 1/32 scale aircraft kits. This news will be a great relief too many modelers who have been anticipating the release of these large scale kits.

"I would like to inform you about the situation of Wingscale.

First of all the name Wingscale and mother company have been deleted and both will NOT be used anymore.
Last week I finalized the definite sale of my plastic injection molding company.
The new business model with new suppliers I needed to sort out has been finalized and accomplished already as well.
A new company has been established with a new brand: WINGXL.

From August 1st, I will be focusing 100% on WINGXL!
And our WINGXL team is glad to be back!

WINGXL will proceed with the following kits in 1/32 scale:
-North American B-25 C/D Mitchell
-Douglas A-26 Invader
-Douglas A-20 Havoc
-Martin B-26 Marauder
-Northrop P-61 Black Widow
-Lockheed Hudson
-Bristol Beaufighter
-De Havilland Mosquito

Please note these are listed in random order and not according release dates.
Besides the B-25, the specific versions of the other kits are not mentioned.
Also the pictures on our website are chosen in general, we haven’t yet revealed which versions are to come or the time frame for these releases. I think everybody will understand why.

In the coming few months, when appropriate, I will keep you all informed about progress of WINGXL and its kits.

Each kit will be produced in a limited quantity of 10.000.
Depending on how many major different versions are possible (general about. 2-3), minimal every 2-3 years constructional revised versions will be released, also in limited quantities.

WINGXL kits will NOT appear re-boxed by other manufacturers later on.
We will respect the true limited character of above mentioned kits.

Which retailers will remain in the WINGXL structure, will be decided oncoming time.
To prevent unnecessary workload for the retailers, for now just communicate directly with WINGXL please.

Which price level we can offer, will be decided at the appropriate time too.
Regarding the price level we off course will do our best to maintain the previous one.

You can ensure a place on the list for above mentioned items.
Please sent an email to: [email protected]
Then you will receive a standard auto reply that your interest of maybe ordering one later has been received and you will have been put on the list.

For other communication please use: [email protected]

Hoping to have informed you all herewith, I remain,

Martin Oude Vrielink
WINGXL"
