Trimaster closed long time ago. Their models were reissued under other brands. I guess people from http://www.hyperscale.com can give you better details and which company bought the mouldings. Not sure but think Tamya (1/48 ) and Revell (1/72) reissued some of them...

It looks you´re not so familiar with Google... Lots of info. Just updating, Trimaster models have been reissued by Hasegawa, DML/Dragon, Revell Germany and Italeri. The "only" diference being the photoetched and metal items being now in plastic and some decal sheets with less options.
HTH!

The Dragon models come with etched parts, the Revell ones are in plastic.

So you are almost as well off with the Dragon kits as you would be with the original Trimasters (and cheaper too).

And I like your new gato vermelho

Trimaster molds were taken over by several companies.

Revell is (that I know of) producing Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-11 and Me 262A-1a / Nightfighter kits, with plastic parts replacing the original etched parts.

However Dragon is producing almost 1:1 kits, even same box, but with a new logo. These are arguably just as good as the originals and include etched parts.

Hasegawa is also selling / reproducing a number of old trimaster kits, including etched parts.

IMHO it is questionable if rare Trimaster originals are worth it, when compared to re-released copies, especially those done by Dragon.

(The Revells can be found at bargain prices, which again adds to their value in comparison).

BTW, I don't build kits, but some way or another I collected a number of 1/48 kits - mainly Bf 109s and Fw 190s from Hasegawa, Tamiya, Dragon, Hobbycraft and Revell.
