since stopped providing us with kits to fuel our addictions.

Looks like the Argentinian manufacturer SkyTec folded.

Here's the message I got when I went to message them on their FB page

Hola! gracias por ponerte en contacto con el equipo de skytec. Por la situación de público o conocimiento nos vemos en la obligación de suspender todas las ventas
Hasta nuevo aviso. Saludos Skytec Cohetes

Translated by google it reads:
Hi! Thank you for contacting the skytec team. Due to the public or knowledge situation we are obliged to suspend all sales until further notice.

Greetings
Skytec Rockets

PD Rocketry, Thrustline and Inflight are three that I miss. Retro Rocketry looked like they were going to be fun. Hawks Hobby had some great upscales and QModeling was an equally great loss to weather conditions.

Corrected - darn eyes without bifocals - addictions not predictions.
 
Atlantic Rockets (of Piscataway, NJ)
Empire Rockets (of Forestville NV)
The Launch Pad (of Okeechobee FL)
U.S. Rockets (of Claremont, CA)
Sherri's Hot Rockets (aka SHR, of FL)
Red Arrow Hobbies (of Stevensville, MI)


Is Sunward dead, or just stopped making custom kits?

If stopped making the rockets we used to like, then the list of vendors expands further:
RoachWerks (of Lexington, MI)
Altaira Rocketry (of MA)

Empire was still doing business very recently. Quite a bit of chatter on Facebook. Not sure what the deal is with US Rockets. Never count Jerry out.
