The old Korvettes here in Redford, Michigan closed in the late 1970's, I still have an unbuilt AIRFIX by Craft Master (Series No. 1507-150) 1/72 scale Junkers JU-52 bought there in the early 1970's.
Question: Why and for how long did AIRFIX market kits under the Craft Master name?

IIRC, Craft Master was into crafts and paint-by-number sets and must have taken over the Airfix of America branch. I have a '66 catalogue from Airfix announcing the takeover. Craft Master themselves were swallowed up by General Mills and the models were delegated to MPC which they had bought up also. I think that was around '68 or '69 judging by the boxing style MPC released their first Airfix kits in.

My mother worked at Korvettes in Baltimore and I got a Christmas job there.

How many were in the area?My brother worked at the one on Ritchie HWY near the MVA...but as I was only about 4 years old that's all I really remember.
The store was on Northern Parkway. Near Loch Raven Blvd.
