Aeroclassics December 2020

When Aeroclassics announced they were going to shake up their distribution model by leaving many widely known and followed traders, I was very doubtful that the venture would work out. I guessed that by selling via their own site, prices would have to go higher, and would in fact become too high for most people and that eventually, Aeroclassics would return to the aforementioned dealers. For the time being, it seems I was very wrong.

As the models went live at 7PM Eastern on Friday, December 11th, collectors moved quickly. I watched the new main hub of Aeroclassics, Aeroclassicsdirect.com every few hours and several of the twelve 1/400 scale offerings went from dwindling to gone before the day was done.
