Does anyone know who bought Aardvarks product line/inventory? Is anyone currently selling these kits?
I seem to remember some good 24/29mm military scale kits from this manufacturer.

Nobody. I offered to continue production of their kit line, but was rebuffed.

I had gotten the Astrobee D, MM-40 Exocet and the Sea SLAM (Harpoon) but don't recall where
It looks like you can pick up just about any Aardvark rocket at

I've been to that site. I'm guessing (hoping) the $135 for a 29mm BB Vb is in Canadian bucks. Not sure what the conversion rate is.
Still no 24mm kits and a few dead links. Not encouraging.

When I was looking at the prices, I thought "Geez, they doubled the prices on everything!!", then I noticed that they WERE in Canadian dollars (I don't know the exchange rate either). But the stuff's unavailable anyway. Though Aardvark had some good-looking scale models, from my own dealings with & stories from others, Aardvark's owner was shaky (if not crooked) & the venture was poorly managed. -- Richard "with Launch Pad seemingly gone, Blackhawk R & D gone, & Aardvark gone, maybe it's time for me to step up to the plate & kit up some of my much admired unique scratch scale missiles" Hickok
Aardvark did a lot of rebuffing :)
LOL...So I hear. Others looked at the chance to pick up the company as a liability. It looked like a good "fixer upper" investment to me.
