I have seen it mentioned, but it may have fallen into the pub cellar.......Its a shame, they have been there for years. Is there a link to the sale?

What a shame. Had a lot of fun with the "Magician", "Jester", "ME 109", etc. Always very helpful and good pricing. Wonder what happened?? Good luck to all the staff anyway. Simon.

I read on another thread that the rights to the kits has been sold, and the name has also been sold.

But don't quote me on it.

Very sad to see Galaxy close it's doors. They've been around longer than SWM and SWM is at 25 years. Not just a few years longer either! I was a kid when I first oggled Galaxy Models Adverts.

The Magician with the Cockpit back that the tail. I so nearly bought that kit. It's still on my list of kits that one day I'd do. That aint going happen as it's hard enough for me to get a RTF going now a days.

There's two major areas that SWM deal with other shops on a regular basis. Enya Gow Plugs and World Models stuff. Over the years there seems to be less and less old names/model shops.

I know to the persons that have shops in this trade , its more than a way to make a living, its a life, a vocation and I feel it for all those at Galaxy and wish them success in the future. Hopefully 2013 will be a better year for them personally.

I love all things Radio Control, so much it hurts.
