What happened to 1/16 ATAK Zimmerit?

[Jnewboy]

I use to see lots of listings for ATAK zimmerit kits on eBay for 1/16 tanks, now there are none???

I think it was Dave (Forgebear) who said that ATAK have decided to sell their products directly but this virus has pretty much scuppered that plan hence no ATAK Zimmerit

[forgebear]

yes that is right we went to restock and we where told no trade sales any more atak will sell direct from there website only
we do have some stock left

TO CUSTOMERS NON-POLISH

Dear customers, I regret to inform you that we are stopping the sale of our products until further notice. The situation is caused by the inability to send orders outside of Poland.

THANK YOU AND BEST REGARDS

Only way is to find some Polish friend willing to send abroad

That is disappointing. I can only thank you Dave and Julie for your previous commitment to stock and distribute their product in the UK. I think it’s short sighted strategy, but if Atak want to take their product out of UK’s Number 1 shop window its their funeral.

yep we are sorry as well but wish him all the best dave

It is not their fault. The Polish postal service has stopped shipping out side the country https://www.polskieradio.pl/395/7784/Ar ... ies-abroad

hi yes we understand they closed their borders i had an email from them last year to say they will not use vendors any more and only items can be got from their website so that is why there is none around on websites and ebay

I wonder if they are having a hard time producing them in numbers for suppliers? Sounds like something has changed internally to their company besides this virus.

Could just be they want to cut out the cost of the middle man and increase their income. I'd personally prefer to buy from very knowledgeable and helpful middle men like Forgebear!
