frobisher Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 A little sad, but kinda makes sense and this presumably means that the Manor is likely to get further production runs now it forms part of the Dapol range. Does this mean the 43xx is no longer going to happen with Ixion? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
