298 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Statement on the AMB/Laserkit website regarding the closure of the business due to the passing of owner John Hitzeman.  http://www.laserkit.com/  One of my first overseas purchases when I started US modelling was for the AMB detailing parts and lowering kit for the Cannonball Steeplecab, and I was very impressed with the final result that John created with his Fort Dodge loco.  2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Keith Addenbrooke Posted February 24 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 24 Another sad loss - American Model Builder kits offered a large range of high quality products: the Depot kits in particular have always impressed me.  Thanks for sharing the news here, I’d not seen it elsewhere, Keith. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traintresta Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 That’s a real shame. I was saving up to order from them!  Plano Models are winding down their range, we are losing a lot of useful suppliers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmanchester Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Sorry to hear of John's passing. Really nice kits - luckily I have a number of the structures tucked away for future projects.  The wooden caboose kits were really nice too.  Rob  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
