No Fiberglass Hulls!!!, Dumas will no longer be manufacturing kits with fiberglass hulls. Options

[rktman56]

Due to EPA requirements and the added manufacturing costs, Dumas Products Inc. has announced that they are no longer manufacturing ANY model kits with fiberglass hulls. A couple of kits that this includes is the Mister Darby and the Prime Time and the large PT-109. Some of the kits that featured fiberglass hulls will be sold with ABS plastic, vacuum formed hulls after the first of the year. One of the kits to feature the ABS plastic, vacuum formed hulls after the first of the year is prime Time (I was told this today over the phone while talking to Dumas Inc.) Availability has not yet been determined by Dumas. At this time, no fiberglass hulls remain in stock at Dumas. If you are looking for a Dumas kit with a fiberglass hulls I would say to check your local hobby shop. Since Dumas no longer has any of these kits in stock, you may have to find one in a warehouse through your LHS. Tower Hobbies will soon be out of these kits also. Harbor Models will soon be providing a Mister Darby hull replacement... the Saga continues!
