Do you have a link to a news story or something? More info would be nice.

Never mind. I found it.

And I hope the first thing Squardon does at VLS is get rid of that stupid customer sign in garbage to view certain items.

I wonder if this means that the VLS stuff will only be available from squadron dot com?

Nah, likely means that VLS items will be distributed by MMD, the wholesale branch of Squadron. Your local hobby emporium will still be able to order it.

My questions from the announcement on the Squadron & VLS websites is that the VLS Mastercon contest will be moving to Texas (SMO's home). SMO is a sponsor of IPMS NCT's ScaleFest contest & show.

Is this a second show in the area or will Mastercon be blended into ScaleFest? Will SMO continue to support the NCT show? Will NCT be called on to staff & run Mastercon on behalf of SMO?
