    What Happened to White Ensign Models?

    Glad to be back folks. I'm wondering whatever happened to White Ensign Models. ( https://www.whiteensignmodels.com/) I am currently looking for accessories to detail my build of the late war SS-408 Sennett gun boat based on the Revelle 1/72 Gato. I originally had intended to build the boat as an RC conversion but have decided to build a museum quality static display model. I currently have the Iron Bottom Sound Ling conversion set but the quality of the resin 5"/25 deck guns is not up to snuff. I'd heard that the White Ensign guns were much superior. I visited the site only to find that almost everything is out of stock and the gun kits are not even listed. What gives? Are these (USN 5 in-25 Deck Gun PE7237) still available from somewhere?

      White Ensign is no more. Tom's ModelWorks has acquired the White Ensign assets, but they do not currently list any 1/72 scale ship accessories on the Tom' web site.

      Nautilus Models does have 1/72 scale Gato photo etch: http://nautilusmodels.com/orderpage-USA.htm and a 5/25 deck gun http://nautilusmodels.com/72-050.htm
      They have quite a line of 1/72 accessories for the Revell kit http://nautilusmodels.com/orderpage-USA.htm
