Niceairplanes, Can Anyone Help
I have been trying to buy a model of a Phantom FGR2 from Niceairplanes. They acknowledged my order at the beginning of the year but nothing heard since. They have also failed to reply to 2 emails. Has anyone had recent contact with them and possibly a phone number?
If that fails does anyone know of another good aircraft model maker?

If you read this thread from 2012 it says the lead time was about 6 months as hand built and painted, it nay be a bit longer now?

Just received this e-mail from Nice Airplanes which might explain your problem.
Very sad news. Nice made wonderful models and I am very proud of my fleet of six RAF models from Chipmunk to Jaguar that they made for me.
Please find attached an urgent message from Nice Airplanes
It is with the most profound sadness that I have to inform you of the passing of Martin Weir, the founder,CEO, inspiration and leading light of the company that is Nice Airplanes.

X767, Many thanks for your prompt reply. What sad news for such a talented man to pass away at such a young age. My, and many others thoughts are with Martin's family at this sad time.
