11/10/25 - Happy New Year to all! 2025 has been a difficult year for many in the hobby business and also for everyday participants. Having just started to recover from supply chain issues created by COVID and now the new tariff situation which has been a none factor throughout my involvement in the hobby business, it has been a 'quiet' year for many in the hobby business. The very unfortunate fact is that many suppliers are no longer viable, many dealers, importers and builders are gone for ever.

With all of that said, I am hoping for an early resolution to the tariff question so that financial planning can be accomplished and our production efforts can be restarted. My builders have been patiently waiting for my plans so that old projects can be finished and new production efforts can move ahead. I am firmly committed to continue the effort to produce the finest models possible and to represent the fantastic models I have available for sale to the best my ability with new and more targeted promotion. I continue to hear from long-time clients, many of which are thinking positively about the new year and an economic rebirth following four devastating years.

As always, I am available to answer any questions or deal with concerns, both new and old. I again thank my long-time clients for their strong support and patience through the difficult times that we have all faced. I look forward to delivering more benchmark quality models that Kohs & Company has become known for! Wishing all a safe and Happy New Year!!
