Well, I certainly have no idea what is going on.
However, my understanding is that
micky1mo had at least two of the Sammio/Ribble moulds delivered to Tribute for Chris & Dan to work their magic on them with a view to re-launching the Sammio brand under Micky's control.
- Spyder/Pilot -
"moulds just need a bit of TLC"
- Coridite/Navigator -
"moulds are just fit for scrap"
In addition, the G-46 moulds
"are still in storage", but there was no intention of selling this kit again without a complete overhaul of the original design.
Tribute were also working on this completely new "Sammio" design for Micky.
I guess there is no reason why the "new" kit couldn't be launched independently of the Sammio brand.
Plus I think the intention was to have one kit with a LWB & SWB version to fit Herald/Spitfire donors.
But as always, what do I know?
