A recent Facebook posting, discussed here:
https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?3067644-RC-Boat-production/page2

Shows latest offerings from KY Models in China... includes several interesting boats, and cartons marked in German with the KYModels logo (not marked as Graupner Premium Line!). Also supposed to be available in Europe by late May.

Any news on who would be stocking these ARTR's?

Some more better pics at:

Apparently, the stockist's name is super double secret... at least, as of the time of the show... maybe this was already covered somewhere here? I couldn't find any mention of KY through the forum search...

Hmm, can anyone get into www.raboeschmodels.com ? Google says "this site may be hacked"

But... in some of the Nurnberg 2018 pics I've found, I saw that KY Model was set up next to Raboesch... and a KY model boat was sitting inside of one of Raboesch's display cabinets.

KY's Fairplay 30 has twin Schottels fitted... could there be a connection with some kind of new Raboesch hardware?

These were on show at the Intermodellbau Dortmund Show last week.

Hobby Lobby Modellbau had them in their cabinets and were taking 'interest' orders.

There WILL be a UK supplier as well - but I will let them make their announcement when they feel the time is right

Great video, a lot of nice new stuff. Wish I had a bigger house and a bigger wallet!

Now listed at Hobby Lobby Modellbau

Nice that these are done as kits instead of 100% prebuilt.

"There WILL be a UK supplier as well"

No announcements on this yet? I'm watching the usual suspects, but nothing obvious yet...

So, PEBA is just a brand name that KY Models does production for. Also look for "KY Models" branded releases. Here's a new 1:50 kit listed for 2019:

Pure speculation on my part, but there is a placeholder on this well known site....

On Facebook, KY (aka iHobbyMall) is showing stacks of cartons for Taucher Wulf in 1:50... give it a couple months to get to Europe!

I saw the kit parts... you will like it... ABS low pressure injected hull with internal mounting features included... ditto for deck/bulwark (one piece, just glue it on like a plastic model ship), and the wheelhouse. Lots of detail.
