Hello All ,

Can anyone tell me if Metcalf Mouldings are still operating as I am interested in their GRP " Moonbeam" schooner kit .

Thanks

Hi Mike,

As far as I'm aware, he hasn't had a website up and running for years now, and I'm not sure that he's specifically trading under the old "Metcalf Mouldings" monniker, either.

However, as recently as the May 2019 issue of Model Boats, he was still advertising both the Moonbeam and the the RNLI Ann Letitia Russel kits. This ad included various contact details, including a phone number and an e-mail address, so although the below ad (copied from said May 2019 Model Boats) has not appeared in more recent issues of the magazine (which might be taken as a sign that he has stopped altogether) you could always try giving him a ring or dropping him a line to find out what's what.

Best of luck with your kit hunting, and kind regards,

Mattias

I speak to my friend Dave Metcalf regularly by phone.

he is indeed semi retired but will still produce the moonbeam and the Ann Letitia Russell to order, but is now enjoying building models for his own enjoyment. Although he is working on at least one model lifeboat as a kit that I designed for him some 10 years ago…………..but as I said, he is enjoying building for his own pleasure.

he now calls himself Metcalf models [if my memory serves me]……which at times it doesn't lol.
