‘Clydeside Models’ kits in 1/1200 from this ‘classic’ range with new items being added. I regret to report the death, in June, 2020 of Bill Gilpin – it is possible that the range may be restarted in the future – further info to be added (or contact TJH direct). TJH 30/11/2021
Update: Following lengthy discussions with the gentleman who has purchased the name & materials it appears that little can be done to salvage the range: a great pity. Photograph’s exist of Bill’s workbench before his death – the feeling is that the contents went as ‘waste’ and are lost. A great pity. TJH 21/10/2023
