Scale Auto belly up?

Saw on YouTube that Scale Auto is pulling the plug. Seems like with everybody trapped at home, with nothing to do but read, and build models, it would be good for their business, but evidently not so much.

Judging by the traffic around here not many staying home any more.
As for the mag -- not much race car stuff anymore anyway.
And so it goes.

Unfortunately the August issue has some real good short track stuff in it and a great recommendation for Big Donkey resins.

Scale Auto's magazine days have been living on barrowed time for quite a while now, so I'm not too surprised. They are no different than a lot of newspapers and other periodicals whose time has passed a long time ago and are no longer viable or in production any more. Thank you to the social media sewer and the internet wasteland

Saw that myself and I am disappointed as there are now only mags for military stuff and I am not into military modeling. The article said that when my subscription runs out they would send Fine Scale Modeler. The only way I'll read that is if there are any automotive articles but when FSM ends the only way I'll buy it is if there car modeling stories/how-to articles for model cars. Not all may be lost though if you go to the Pro Tech site and scroll down to links and click on it there towards the bottom is a mag called Model Car Builder. Not sure how long it has been out but what I saw there quite a few issues out already. Hold on to your exacto knives fellas the mag aint cheap. Print copy is $12.00 WOW pretty pricy for a magazine. Hope this helps you guys. I'll get off my soap box now.
